Trainingstage im IENA
Wir waren für 3Tage im Reitsportzentrum IENA in Avenches, dafür top Lage. Ist in 5min Autofahrt erreichbar. Frühstück gab es auf Wunsch bereits ab 7.00Uhr. Etwas knapp mit Parkplätzen.

gute Jugendherberge in der nähe von Avenches
jugendherberge 700 m von der Stadtmiite in Avenches. Das war meine erste Erfahrung mit einer Jugendherberge. Die Zimmer sind klein aber sauber schliesslich schläft man ja nur dort. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, ich fühlte mich wohl. Das Frühstûcksbuffet war super. Ich komme gerne wieder

Jugendherberge mit Charme
Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und zweckmässig eingerichtet. Es hat 2er Zimmer und auch Familienzimmer. Es hat ein Waschbecken im Zimmer. Gemeinschaftsduschen und WCs sind auf dem Gang. Es ist alles sauber und zweckmässig eingerichtet. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut. Der Garten ist sehr hübsch und für Familien besonders geeignet. Die Hausdame war sehr freundlich und kompetent.
