Sports & Leisure
This is the largest category of Kidora, and for good reason: getting active is the favorite program of children. Swimming pools and beaches of Lake Geneva in summer, ice rinks in winter, adventure parks in the trees in Chaumont, Sion, or Onex, trampolines and climbing walls for rainy days.
You will also find experiences that you can't do anywhere else: surfing a real wave at Alaïa Bay in Sion, flying in a free fall simulator at RealFly, or embarking on a CGN cruise on Lake Geneva.
Here is our selection of sports and leisure activities for your children.

Cruise on Lake Murten: the boat from Morat
What if Sunday's outing took place on the water? At the Morat landing stage, the boats of the LNM company set off towards the three lakes. Children aged 6 to 16 travel at half price, free on Saturdays, and under-6s pay nothing.
Rocheray Water Sports: paddle, kayak and pedalo on Lake Joux
What if the children steered the boat? On the shore of Lake Joux, next to the campsite, Rocheray Water Sports rents paddleboards, kayaks and pedalos and offers supervised outings, from a simple accompanied hour to a paddling weekend with a night at the campsite.
Rocheray Beach: swimming at altitude on Lake Joux
Looking for a swim that really cools you down? At over 1,000 metres of altitude, Rocheray Beach unrolls its lawn on the shore of Lake Joux, with tables and spots for barbecues. The neighbouring watersports base rounds off the day.
Aventure Gruyère in Corbières: licence-free boats, kayaks and paddle
What if the whole family boarded the same boat, with no licence and no experience? In Corbières, Aventure Gruyère rents licence-free boats, kayaks from CHF 15 and paddleboards, including giant models. There are even treasure hunts on the water.
Kayak Aventure in La Roche: kayak, canoe and paddle on Lake Gruyère
Fancy seeing Lake Gruyère from the water rather than from the beach? In La Roche, Kayak Aventure rents kayaks, canoes and stand up paddleboards on the lakeside, with a half-price rate for 8 to 16 year olds. Guided outings lead all the way to the Île d'Ogoz.
La Pointe Beach in Morlon: the big beach on Lake Gruyère
Looking for the beach on Lake Gruyère that has everything? It is La Pointe, in Morlon, which everyone calls Morlon Beach: toilets, outdoor showers, fire pits, beach volleyball and paddle rental, with the Île d'Ogoz and the Prealps as scenery. Free access.
Botterens Beach: natural swimming at the end of the lake
What if the swim had to be earned at the end of a path? At Botterens, right at the southern end of Lake Gruyère, the shore is reached on foot from the lakeside trail, level with Villarbeney. A natural, free and discreet spot for a family swim far from the big beaches.
La Roche Beach: the natural shore of Lake Gruyère
Fancy a beach where you can still hear the birds? The one at La Roche is among the least busy on Lake Gruyère: generous vegetation, calm water and a refreshment stand in summer. It is also from this shore that kayak and paddle outings set off.
Why choose a family sports & leisure outing?
Because there is something for every season and every budget. In summer, public beaches and outdoor pools cost almost nothing; Vita trails are free all year round. In winter, indoor pools, ice rinks, and trampoline parks take over regardless of the weather.
It's also the category that grows with your children: wading pool and little train at 3 years old, treetop adventure and laser tag at 8, indoor surfing and free fall in adolescence. Filter by city or region to find the activity that fits your day — and remember to check seasonal hours, as many outdoor facilities close off-season.
