Saint-Cergue disc golf: a free frisbee course at the foot of the Jura
A new way to run around outdoors as a family in Saint-Cergue? Disc golf! On a free, open-access 9-basket course, you throw the frisbee from target to target, between forest and meadow at the foot of the Jura. Discs are available to rent on site: perfect for trying it together.
Golf… with a frisbee, in Saint-Cergue
Disc golf works like golf but with frisbees: you throw your disc from target to target, up to chain baskets, counting your throws. In Saint-Cergue, a 9-basket course opened in 2025, in the heart of the village and at the foot of the Vallon slopes, between forest, meadow and sports facilities. Access is free and open: all you need is a disc and the urge to walk a little. A wonderfully simple activity, perfect for getting the whole family moving in the fresh air.
What your children will discover
Children love to aim and throw: here, they make their way from basket to basket across meadows and woodland, count their throws and quickly get hooked. The course is accessible to everyone, from beginners to more seasoned players. To go further, the Disc Golf La Côte club runs taster sessions and events on site. It's a fun way to discover a fast-growing sport, with no complicated gear.
What you do and the atmosphere on site
You rent one or two discs on site (at the Tourist Office or at the Buvette des sports du Vallon), then set off around the 9 baskets at your own pace. The atmosphere is relaxed and sporty, in the green setting of the Vallon. It's easy to combine disc golf with another village activity, such as the bike park or a walk.
