Why choose Gy for a family outing?

The Vita course in Gy is the major sporting event of the village: a loop in the heart of nature, punctuated by exercise stations where everyone can exert themselves at their own pace. Children turn it into an adventure course, parents enjoy a free workout — and everyone benefits from a nice dose of fresh air.

Around, the surrounding countryside lends itself to walks or bike rides: agricultural paths, forest edges, and open horizons create a peaceful playground, far from traffic.

For a simple and invigorating outing, without preparation or budget, Gy reminds us of the essentials: a path, trees, and children running ahead.
