Your project in the canton of Neuchâtel
The canton of Neuchâtel rises in tiers from the lake to the high plateaus of the Jura. On the lakeshore, the city of Neuchâtel is marked by the yellow stone of its old buildings and its sloping streets, while Boudry and Cortaillod are surrounded by vineyards and residential districts. In the mountains, La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle, watchmaking towns laid out on a grid plan, are lined with large old apartment buildings at an altitude where winter is long. The Val-de-Travers, around Fleurier, and the Val-de-Ruz offer a more rural setting of farmhouses and village houses. Building conditions vary greatly between lakeside and heights. For a façade in an old town or an extension, check with your municipality whether approval is needed. State the municipality, postcode and site access, especially if outdoor work is planned during winter.
- For an old building in La Chaux-de-Fonds or Le Locle, give the floor and describe access via the stairwell.
- On the lakeshore, for a house on a slope, describe the steps or paths leading to the entrance.
- In the mountains, plan outdoor work outside the snow season and say so in your request.
Accessibility adaptations for people with reduced mobility in the canton of Neuchâtel
The canton of Neuchâtel has two faces. On the lakeshore, in Neuchâtel or Cortaillod, many houses are built on slopes down to the lake, with terraced gardens and outdoor steps that a platform lift can overcome. In the upper canton, in La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle, the large watchmaking buildings laid out on a grid often have stairwells without a lift and raised entrances: a stairlift or ramp in the entrance hall is then studied with the property management company. The harsh winters of the Neuchâtel mountains also require access protected from ice. For buildings forming part of the watchmaking urban heritage, check with the municipality what needs to be done.
- In a rental building in La Chaux-de-Fonds, ask the property management company whether a stairlift could be shared by several tenants.
- For a terraced garden, plan a continuous path with gentle slopes rather than isolated steps between levels.

Frequently asked questions
How should an accessible route be defined in Neuchâtel?
Identify the starting point, rooms and everyday tasks the route must connect, including entrances and shared areas. Note thresholds, door movement and equipment used without publishing medical diagnoses. Ask for assessment of the whole route, so adapting one doorway does not leave another practical obstacle unresolved.
How can I describe accessibility needs without medical details?
Explain the movements and tasks that are difficult, the equipment used and the relevant room or doorway dimensions. A description of the practical obstacle can support planning without a medical history. Ask for an assessment of the actual space and the proposed solution before selecting equipment.
What should I compare in adaptations for reduced mobility quotes?
Compare adaptations against the same practical needs, including door clearances, manoeuvring space and controls. Clarify installation, testing and making good surrounding finishes. Ask which assessments are necessary and who coordinates them; a product alone does not establish that the complete route is accessible.
How should I prepare for the adaptations for reduced mobility visit or work?
Prepare a simple route plan from the entrance to the rooms used most. Note thresholds, narrow points and items to retain. Discuss the proposed changes with the person who will use them, and arrange any specialist assessment privately when it is relevant.
