About Salavaux
Salavaux is a lakeside village on the northern edge of the Broye plain, at the southern end of Lake Murten in the canton of Vaud. Since 2011 it has been part of the municipality of Vully-les-Lacs. Its sandy beach, Plage Salavaux, runs for more than 800 metres and is why the village is a popular holiday spot. Mont Vully, rising to 653 metres between Lake Murten and Lake Neuchâtel, carries around 150 hectares of vines growing Chasselas and Pinot Noir among others, and the Vully appellation is the only one covering two cantons. The homes are grouped together in one spot, mostly small and sleeping two to four.
