Activities for children in Genthod

Between Bellevue and Versoix, Genthod unfolds its homes and gardens on a hillside that gently slopes down to Lake Geneva. This residential village on the right bank conceals, by the water's edge, a swimming spot that Geneva families share as a great find.

Les Bains de Saugy offers a traditional swimming experience: a pontoon, the lake, a view of Mont Blanc on sunny days — and not much else. That’s precisely what gives it its charm.

Here is our selection of activities for children in Genthod.

Why choose Genthod for a family outing?

The Bains de Saugy summarize the art of living on the right bank: a simple and friendly beach, where you can lay out your laundry on the lawn before taking a dip in clear water. The place remains human-sized, making it a favored spot for families with young children — you can easily keep an eye on your little ones.

Swimming is often followed by a stroll along the shores or a snack by the lake, watching sailboats and CGN boats go by. And if the urge to explore strikes you, the Creux-de-Genthod and its nearby boats are worth a look.

For a summer afternoon without organization or ticketing, Genthod is a safe bet: Lake Geneva, a dock, children jumping into the water — sometimes that's all you need.
