Paintball.ch – Geneva

A forest adventure at the gateway to Geneva

Paintball.ch is a large wooded site of over 10,000 m² laid out in the forest, near Vernier and the Geneva countryside. You come here to play a team game of paintball, sheltered by the trees and the natural obstacles, in a green and refreshing setting while being very close to the city. For the youngest, the team offers an adapted and supervised format, designed so that everything stays a game.

What your children will discover

The pleasure of running, hiding behind a trunk, working out a team strategy and aiming at a target: paintball brings together everything children love about a big outdoor game. With full protective equipment and launchers suited to the youngest, they discover team spirit, fair play and a great life-size way to let off steam. It is the ideal activity for energetic children who need space and movement.

What you do there and the atmosphere on site

You arrive as a group, put on the protective equipment, receive the safety instructions from a supervisor, then launch into team games. The atmosphere is close-knit and joyful: there is dashing between the trees, whispering to plan, and lots of laughter. The format is played in a group (a minimum number of players is required), which makes it tailor-made for birthdays and outings with friends. Everything takes place outdoors, in the forest, under the eye of a supervisor.

Before you go

• Recommended age: from age 6, with a format designed for children; ideal up to the teenage years.
• Duration: plan on about an hour of play, plus the time for equipment and briefing.
• Booking: essential, as a group (a minimum number of participants is required). Book in advance by phone or via the official website.
• Stroller accessibility: forest site, natural and uneven ground; not very suited to strollers, rather plan a baby carrier for any accompanying toddlers.
• Transport / parking: site on the outskirts of Geneva, easier to reach by car; check the parking options and TPG connections when booking.
• What to bring: clothes you do not mind getting dirty and good closed shoes; the paint from the pellets washes out.
• Best season: from spring to autumn, when the forest is pleasant and the ground passable.

Parents' tips

• Book well in advance, especially for a birthday at the weekend: the format is played in a group.
• Dress the children in "we are going to get dirty" mode: tracksuit, old jumper and closed shoes.
• Bring a water bottle and a small snack for the break; running in the forest builds an appetite.
• Confirm the minimum age and the number of players required directly with the team before booking.
