Morat Mini Golf: a game by the lake, at the foot of the old town

A round of minigolf with your feet (almost) in Lake Murat

It's hard to dream of a more pleasant setting for a game of minigolf in Murat. The course takes place outdoors, right by Lake Murat, with a lovely view of the water. You're just a stone's throw from the medieval old town and its ramparts, making it an ideal stop to combine play, stroll, and a tasty break. The atmosphere is relaxed, perfect for a family outing or a day with friends. On-site, a bistro welcomes players before or after the game. It's the kind of activity where you take your time, without pressure, and in the fresh air.

What your children will discover

Minigolf is a perfect first approach to skill games for children. They learn to aim, to gauge their strength, and to keep score, all while having fun. Each hole has its little surprise and obstacle to overcome, which keeps the attention of the youngest from hole to hole. It's also an opportunity to play together, taking turns and encouraging each other. And with the lake right next to it, the scenery pleasantly changes from a classic playground.

What to do there and the atmosphere on site

You pick up your club and ball, follow the course hole by hole, and keep track of your strokes throughout the game. The atmosphere is calm and friendly: no need to be a champion to have a good time. The bistro on-site offers drinks, ice creams, and light snacks, ideal for taking a break or extending the outing in the sun. For groups, aperitif offers are available, and clubs can even organize tournaments there. In short, a place that suits both spontaneous family outings and events with friends.

Parents' tips

• Come rather in the late afternoon or mid-week to enjoy a quieter course.
• Bring something to protect yourself from the sun: there is little shade by the lake.
• Follow up the game with a walk on the ramparts of the nearby old town: it's the winning combo.
• Keep some change for an ice cream at the bistro at the end of the game; it's always a nice finale.
