Summer activities for children in Arzier-Le Muids

At the exit of Arzier, the Creux des Abériaux picnic area is a large relaxation space nestled under tall trees. Tables, tranquility, and nature: the ideal spot for a family meal, and the perfect starting point for the spiritual path of Oujon. Free.

Above Arzier, the Oujon spiritual trail is a flat, signposted loop of about an hour that leads to the ruins of the oldest charterhouse in Switzerland. Around fifteen information panels, a large picnic area nearby: a free family walk blending nature and history.

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.

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.
