Albergo per la Gioventù Avenches

Owing to comprehensive renovation and extension work carried out in 2013/14, this youth hostel is a favourite with hikers, cyclists, horse riders, culture vultures, language students, families and school classes alike. The former orphanage boasts a beautiful garden where willows and chestnut trees reach towards the skies, a bright and airy dining room, modern, functional rooms and a barrier-free wooden pavilion. Unforgettable experiences are guaranteed thanks to the very well-maintained Roman amphitheatre, which is within easy walking distance, the ruins of the former Roman town, pleasure hikes through the vineyards, fun in the sun in one of the nearby stretches of water and, of course, the professionally run French courses.
Avenches si trova tra i vigneti del "Vully" e sopra la pianura della "Broye", che collega il lago di Murten al lago di Neuchâtel. Il sentiero conduce attraverso il mezzo dei vicoli medievali fino all'ostello della gioventù. Il sole riscalda la facciata, i castagni e i peri del grande giardino fanno ombra, l'uva prospera sul muro.
