Spring activities for children in Céligny

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.

Want a day by the lake, with family and without breaking the bank? Nestled between its small port and a shaded strip of grass, the beach of Céligny is a quiet spot in the canton of Geneva, perfect for splashing around, picnicking, and enjoying the view of the Alps.

Want to take the children out on the lake in Nyon? At Le Ponton, on the shore of Lake Geneva, pedalo rental gets you on the water within minutes: you pedal gently, the little ones take the helm and enjoy the view of the shore and the Château de Nyon. A simple, refreshing summer outing — no booking required.

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.

A walk that tells a story: the Toblerone Trail follows the former line of anti-tank fortifications from 1940, these concrete blocks lined up like chocolate bars. Forts camouflaged as villas, educational panels, and arrival at the edge of the lake: a free and exciting nature outing.

And what if the outing was the boat itself? From the Rive pier in Nyon, CGN offers cruises on Lake Geneva, sometimes aboard the magnificent Belle Époque boats. Family offers, strollers accepted, picnic on board: a breath of fresh air for young and old alike.

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.

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.

Want a day by the water with the kids? Hermance Beach, at the foot of the charming medieval village by Lake Geneva, combines pebbles, shaded grass, a snack bar, and supervised swimming. A perfect spot in Romandy Switzerland to relax with the family as the nice days arrive.

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.
