Why choose Cologny for a family outing?

Geneva-Plage, first of all: a summer institution, this large complex by Lake Geneva features pools, slides, wading pools, and shaded lawns. A whole day can be spent there without anyone getting bored, from toddlers to teenagers.

For a more natural swim, the bathing area at the Quai de Cologny and the Belotte beach offer two more secluded access points to the lake: a dock, pebbles, and clear water on one side, a charming little fishing port atmosphere on the other. Two perfect spots for a dip at the end of the day or a picnic at sunset.

And when the chill returns, the Bain-Bleu Hammam & Spa takes over: its heated indoor and outdoor pools can be enjoyed with family during dedicated time slots, providing an aquatic break that warms up winter Sundays.

In Cologny, the lake can be experienced all year round and in all its forms. If your children are little fish, you know where to go.
