Looking for a simple, sociable outing in the heart of the Bernese Jura? The minigolf in Reconvilier welcomes you right in the centre of the village, a stone's throw from the station.

A round of minigolf in the village centre, in the Bernese Jura
In the heart of Reconvilier, in the Bernese Jura, the Minigolf Club Orval offers a wonderfully simple and sociable activity: a round of open-air minigolf as a family. The course sits right in the centre of the village, easy to reach, a stone's throw from the CFF station. You come for the sheer pleasure of playing, no fuss, club in hand and coloured ball ready to roll. It's one of those outings that cost almost nothing and bring all the generations together around a single course. A safe bet when you're wondering what to do with the children in the Bernese Jura.
What your children will discover
Minigolf is the first real precision sport within children's reach. Your children will learn to aim, to gauge their shot, to work around the obstacles on the course and to count their points hole after hole. It's a fine school of patience and concentration, disguised as a game. The youngest simply love pushing the ball to the hole, while the older ones are already looking for the perfect line. And since the Minigolf Club Orval also hosts national-level competitions, your children will discover, without even realising it, that this little game is a real sport.
What you'll do and the atmosphere on site
Here, the atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed. You pick up your club and ball, set off on the course and play through the holes at your own pace. Between holes, you comment on the shots, cheer each other on and laugh at a missed ricochet. The refreshment kiosk on site offers drinks and ice creams, ideal for a break in the sun midway through the round. It's a place where you'll come across families spending the afternoon as well as seasoned players fine-tuning their technique. This dual identity, sociable and sporty, is the whole charm of the place.
