Located just a stone's throw from Avenches town centre, the Youth Hostel is the perfect place from which to explore the region!
Housed in a former orphanage, this renovated and modern youth hostel appeals to hikers, cyclists, horse riders, families and enthusiasts of culture, nature and exploration. A leafy setting with a garden shaded by willows and chestnut trees, a light-filled dining hall, comfortable rooms and a fully accessible wooden pavilion — everything is designed to make guests feel at home.
There is no shortage of things to do in the surrounding area: Roman ruins in the heart of nature, the Swiss National Stud Farm and the Franches-Montagnes horses, sandy beaches by the lake, or even setting off on a bike to explore the region!
In 2022, the Avenches Youth Hostel was awarded the Ibex Fairstay Gold for its sustainable management.
