The Morges tourist train: town and vineyard for families
Fancy discovering Morges without tiring little legs? From April to October, the tourist train offers a Town Tour and a Vineyard Tour, departing from the landing stage. A 45-minute seated ride, ideal for families, between lake, old town and vineyards.
A seated ride through Morges
From April to October, the Morges tourist train takes families to discover the town and its surroundings, departing from the CGN landing stage. Two routes to choose from: the Town Tour, which follows the lake and the historic centre, and the Vineyard Tour, which climbs into the vineyards towards Vufflens Castle. Each tour lasts about 45 minutes, seated and with commentary. A gentle, restful way to see it all, without tiring the children.
What your children will discover
Comfortably seated in the train, children watch the lake, the boats, the old town and, on the Vineyard Tour, the vine-covered slopes and the castles go by. It's a playful discovery of the region, dotted with explanations. The little train is, in itself, already an attraction for the youngest.
What you do and the atmosphere on site
You board at the landing stage, choose your tour and let yourself be driven around. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly. On arrival, the harbour, the quays and the Parc de l'Indépendance let you extend the outing by the lake.
