Spring in Neuchâtel has a character of its own. Days grow longer, terraces come back to life, the lake regains its clear reflections, and the whole region starts to vibrate again. In April 2026, this energy will take on a new dimension with the return of the Alps View Festival – an event that has quickly become a key date for electronic music lovers. If you are looking for a good reason to plan a stay at this time of year, you have just found it. And to make the most of the festival, staying at Hôtel Beaulac is the ideal option: comfort, a central location and direct access to the city, while remaining at a convenient distance from the festival site.
Located directly on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel, Hôtel Beaulac allows you to enjoy the festival without compromise, combining lively nights with quiet moments by the water. A simple and pleasant way to turn a musical weekend into a true spring getaway.

A unique high-altitude techno festival in the canton of Neuchâtel
On 24 and 25 April 2026, the Vue des Alpes will host the third edition of the Alps View Festival. One defining feature sets the event apart: it is the only techno festival in the canton of Neuchâtel, and also one of the highest of its kind in Switzerland. The setting plays a central role in the experience. At over 1,200 metres above sea level, the music resonates differently, carried by the fresh Jura air and an open panorama of the surrounding mountains.
Organised by the Neuchâtel-based association Tech With Us, the festival has found its audience from the very first editions. With attendance deliberately limited to 2,000 people per evening, the atmosphere remains controlled and intimate, far from anonymous crowds. People come here for the music, the atmosphere, and the feeling of being somewhere special, suspended between sky and Jura landscapes. Practical information, the programme and upcoming announcements are available directly on the festival’s official website: https://alpsviewfestival.ch/.
A carefully curated and contemporary techno line-up
Alps View Festival 2026 will feature a line-up firmly focused on techno and live electronic performances, spread across two evenings. On Friday 24 April, doors open from 5 pm, and on Saturday 25 April from 3 pm, allowing for long hours of music that continue well into the night.
Among the confirmed artists are NTO b2b Joachim Pastor, Aisha, Chris Gioria, Leblanc, Marc Depulse and Elina b2b Rōse. The selection combines established figures from the European scene with rising artists, maintaining a coherent musical identity throughout the weekend. Saturday will also showcase more energetic projects and sets designed to gradually build the intensity of the evening.
Festival-goers are encouraged to explore the detailed line-up on the official website to familiarise themselves with each artist’s style and prepare their experience. Early Bird tickets are available in limited numbers via the official ticketing platform: https://my.weezevent.com/alps-view-festival-2026, offering attractive rates for those who plan ahead.
Access, transport and organisation: an event designed for festival-goers
Located at the Vue des Alpes in the Val-de-Ruz, the festival site is easily accessible from Neuchâtel. Free shuttle buses will operate from La Chaux-de-Fonds railway station, with return journeys to Neuchâtel at the end of each evening. A practical solution for enjoying the event without constraints, especially for visitors staying in the city.
For those arriving by car, dedicated parking areas will be available close to the site, with clear organisation to ensure safety and smooth operations. All logistical details will be communicated progressively on the festival’s official website from January 2026 onwards.
By choosing to stay in Neuchâtel – and in particular at Hôtel Beaulac – you benefit from a comfortable and central base. After a night of music, it is a real pleasure to return to a quiet room, enjoy high-quality bedding, and wake up to a view of the lake to extend the weekend at a relaxed pace.

The Alps View Festival is the perfect opportunity to discover Neuchâtel from a different perspective. Between evenings at the Vue des Alpes, the city offers plenty to enjoy: walks along the lake, the historic old town, restaurants, terraces and the relaxed atmosphere typical of spring.
