Le Locle

Le Locle is a small community in the Neuchâtel Jura. It is located at 920 m.a.s.l. very close to France and offers great hiking and mountain biking tours in the surrounding area. The village itself has a cozy and warm atmosphere. Le Locle is considered the cradle of Swiss watchmaking and is therefore a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Famous watchmakers like Tissot, Ulysse Nardin, Certina and Zenith are still native to the small community. Every Friday morning, visitors even have the chance to visit and immerse themselves in the Zenith watch manufacture. There are also themed city tours, a watch museum and exciting workshops.

“The castle was much bigger inside than expected, with amazing history and stunning artefacts. It was a great time of year to visit, not too crowded, and the whole experience was interesting. Walking where people walked hundreds of years ago felt humbling.”
