In the heart of the Yverdon-les-Bains region The easily accessible region of Yverdon-les-Bains stretches from the foot of the Jura Mountains to the borders of the southern end of Lake Neuchâtel. Covering plain, town, lake and mountain areas, it is a preserved green lung within the Canton of Vaud. With its rich history, the Yverdon-les-Bains region pleases lovers of calm and of nature. The vast array of excursions, museums, cultural and leisure activities on offer attract many tourists. Nature, history and culture, well-being and regional produce are the region s principal attractions that tempt visitors. Tourist activities The Yverdon-les-Bains region contains 22 major tourist sites and museums that welcome up to 360,000 visitors a year. The accommodation on offer is important, with 31 one-star to four-star hotels and a great number of traditional and welcoming guest rooms. The beaches situated at the southern end of Lake Neuchâtel are renowned for their natural, almost Mediterranean character, and many creeks are open to the public between Concise, Grandson, Yverdon-les- Bains and Yvonand.
