Swiss National Stud Farm

Located on the outskirts of Avenches, near Lake Morat, the Swiss National Stud Farm, or Haras National Suisse (HNS), is a centre of excellence of the Confederation for Horse Breeding. The HNS is open to the public for guided tours, carriage rides and regular events.

Founded in Avenches in 1899, the Haras National Suisse (HNS) then had an area of 150 hectares. In 1997, it sold part of its land to the new Institut Equestre National d’Avenches (IENA). The HNS has a threefold mission: training (for veterinarians, agronomists, equestrians, farriers and so on), equestrian research and the promotion and support of the Franches-Montagnes breed, the only typically Swiss horse.

The HNS is open every day from 7 am to 7 pm. Training of horses in the yard or in the arena takes place from Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 12:00 and from 13:30 to 16:30.

Top Events
Throughout the year, the city of Avenches comes alive with many parties and festivals. Whether in the magical setting of the Roman arenas or in the heart of the medieval city, the city of Avenches offers you moments of emotion to share with family or friends!

Horse capital
If Switzerland is the land of the horse, Avenches is its capital. The breeding and keeping of horses dates back to the Celtic period and has continued to develop ever since.

Aventicum – Capital of Roman Helvetia
The habits and customs of Aventicum’s inhabitants 2000 years ago included entertaining themselves at the arena by attending gladiator fights, taking time for their well-being, as well as basking and relaxing at the thermal baths. This Roman city was the capital of the Helvetii people, numbering 20,000 souls at the time; a settlement that rose to be a colony and was placed under the Emperor’s protection. Its influence and outreach extended far and wide, from the north to the south of the Alps. Evidence from this sumptuous and flourishing era are still visible today when visiting the Roman Site’s vestiges of its imposing monuments and the Roman Museum’s impressive collection of ancient objects.
