Lake Bienne (BE)

Built around Lake Biel and waterways linked to the Aare, the Lake Bienne (BE) area grew into a cluster of lakeside communities in the Bernese Seeland. Known as Bielersee in German and lac de Bienne in French, the lake lies below the Jura and beside the bilingual city of Biel/Bienne. Its shoreline and water level were substantially reshaped by the nineteenth-century Jura water correction, a major Swiss hydraulic project. Vineyards occupy parts of the northern shore, while the wooded St. Peter’s Island peninsula extends into the lake near its western end.
