Autumn activities for children in Mies

On the shores of Lake Geneva, between Versoix and Coppet, the beach of Mies features a large shaded lawn where families lay down their towels as soon as the nice weather arrives. Shallow edges, playgrounds, and barbecues: a day at the lake, simple and free.

Inaugurated in September 2024 between Mies and Tannay, the renaturalized shores of the Torry offer a new corner of Lake Geneva to discover with family. Accessible promenade, playground, beach volleyball, and beach: everything is new and free, right by the water.

In Mies, the Basketball House (FIBA) offers a free mini-exhibition on the history of basketball, and an outdoor court to shoot some hoops. Ideal for families.

Looking for a gentle moment in the company of horses with your children? In Versoix, the Equitypes centre offers pony rides and caring riding lessons, by reservation, in a green setting beside the lake.

At the port of Coppet, the lakeside promenade and the CGN boat landing invite a stroll with your feet by the shores of Lake Geneva. You can wander, watch the boats, and embark on a mini-cruise to Nyon or Geneva before heading back to the old village.

Looking for a nature outing very close to Geneva? Bioparc Genève, in Bellevue, brings you face to face with more than 250 animals from around a hundred species along shaded paths, perfect for a family day in the open air.

The Bois de Bondex, in Céligny, is a small nature reserve nestled in the Geneva enclave of Terre Sainte. Forests, meadows, and marshes coexist there over approximately 6.6 hectares, with astonishing biodiversity. A peaceful nature outing to observe, walk, and breathe with family.

Looking for an active and friendly outing with the kids, no matter the weather? Totem Escalade Versoix, right by the lake at the gates of Geneva, is a large, bright bouldering gym where young and old can climb at their own pace, in a family-friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Want a day by the water with the kids, without crowds or complications? The Bains de Saugy, in Genthod, offer a small free beach on Lake Geneva, with a wading pool designed for little ones and a very gentle family atmosphere.

Want to get outdoors with the kids without spending a dime? The Parcours Vita in Bellevue, on the edge of the forest along the lake, features running, balance, and small sports challenges, accessible year-round and just a stone's throw from public transport.

Looking for a gentle, cultural moment with the children? CinéVersoix, the community neighbourhood cinema housed in the Aula du Collège des Colombières, offers warm, low-priced Ciné-Prim's young audience screenings, perfect in any weather.
