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 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.
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.
Pont-la-Ville Beach: the quiet little beach on the lake
Escaping the crowded beaches? The one at Pont-la-Ville is smaller and more intimate, with clear water and welcoming banks on the shore of Lake Gruyère. A quiet corner with open access, two steps from the Golf de la Gruyère and the Rossens dam footbridge.
Gumefens Beach: the wide lawn facing the Île d'Ogoz
Fancy a beach where you can spread out your towels without bumping into anyone? At Gumefens, the lawn unrolls nearly 2,000 m2 on the shore of Lake Gruyère, with the Île d'Ogoz and its medieval ruins as a backdrop. Entirely free, with a large car park right beside it, along the Route du Marais.
Corbières Beach: family swimming on Lake Gruyère
Looking for a lake beach where the little ones can paddle safely? At Corbières, at the spot known as La Montagnetta, the lawn slopes very gently down to the water in the shade of tall trees. Playground, fire pits for barbecues and completely free access.
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.
