The Vue des Alpes is a pass in the Swiss Jura in the canton of Neuchâtel . It lies between the towns of La Chaux-de-Fonds and Malvillier , and the pass is at an altitude of 1283  m above sea level. M. The closest higher mountain is the Tête de Ran , about 2.5 km southwest.

Since 1995, the 3,250 m long Vue des Alpes tunnel between Les Hauts-Geneveys and La Chaux-de-Fonds has relieved the pass road and enables a safe winter connection. There has been a 3259 m long railway tunnel on the Neuchâtel – La Chaux-de-Fonds line since 1860 , which also runs under the Vue des Alpes, but was named after the Les Loges plateau .
