Why choose Gland for a family sports & leisure outing?
Because it is one of the few towns on La Côte where you can experience all four seasons without leaving the municipality: beach in summer, ice rink in winter, indoor pool, bowling, and climbing all year round. The En Bord sports center concentrates a good part of the offerings.
Its location between Nyon and Rolle also makes it a practical base: you can easily combine a sports activity in Gland with a playground or a walk along the lake in the neighboring municipalities.
