Milvignes: Aérodrome Neuchâtel
Tucked along the northwestern shore of Lake Neuchâtel, Milvignes is a place whose character is shaped by its level lakeside plain beneath the Jura foothills. Aérodrome de Neuchâtel occupies this open ground near Colombier, where a runway and grass verges meet cultivated fields and low residential slopes. The setting differs sharply from the denser streets of nearby Neuchâtel, with broad agricultural plots, the lake basin and the rising Jura defining its scale. Milvignes was created in 2013 through the merger of Auvernier, Bôle and Colombier, bringing together three established lakeside communities. Lake Neuchâtel, Switzerland’s largest lake entirely within the country, remains the area’s defining geographic feature.

The municipality was created in 2013 through the union of Auvernier, Bôle and Colombier, three communities set between the lake shore and the lower slopes of the Jura. Vineyards are integral to this stretch of Neuchâtel wine country, while the lakeside links Milvignes with Neuchâtel and other settlements around Switzerland’s largest lake lying entirely within its borders.

Among the regions of Switzerland, Neuchâtel stands out for its Jura watchmaking heritage and terrain that runs from high valleys to the shores of Lake Neuchâtel. The canton lies in western Switzerland, where folded Jura ridges frame forests, pastures and towns shaped by precision crafts. La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle are jointly listed by UNESCO for their urban planning, designed around the needs of the watch industry. Neuchâtel, the cantonal capital, stands beside the lake and retains a medieval castle and collegiate church.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
