Spring activities for children in Saint-Cergue

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.

Do your children want to ride and jump on a mountain bike? In Saint-Cergue, the bike park opens up 4,000 m² of pump track and loops with progressive difficulty, from beginner green to more technical red. Free open access, helmet on: the ideal place to progress on a bike.

Want to get the whole family moving in the forest without spending a franc? Above Trélex, on the road to Saint-Cergue, the Parcours Vita unwinds 2.5 km of trail and around fifteen exercise stations, with views over the lake and the Alps. Free, open all year round, maintained since 1971.

Fancy a quiet, free journey into the Middle Ages? In Chéserex, at the foot of the Jura, Bonmont Abbey opens its Cistercian church—founded in 1123—to families. A short, peaceful visit to awaken children to history, just a few minutes from Nyon.

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.

In the forests of Genolier and Givrins, the Sentier du Bas des Côtes was conceived with local schoolchildren. Along the path, panels tell the story of the forest and its ecosystems. A nature walk, educational and free, in the heart of the Parc Jura vaudois.

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.

Between Genolier and Duillier, the Bois de Chênes is a vast plain forest where young and old explore oak groves, meadows, and ponds. An educational loop, large picnic areas, and the tranquility of the Nyon district: a simple and free nature outing, just a stone's throw from the train.

A playful dive into the history of tractors and agricultural tools, in the heart of an old mill. Perfect for sparking the curiosity of children and parents.

A simple and welcoming village pool, with a lawn, wading pool, and snack bar. Perfect for a cool afternoon, without crowds, in the heart of Bassins in the Côte.
