Oujon Spiritual Trail (Chartreuse d'Oujon)
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.
NStCM Train (Nyon–Saint-Cergue–La Cure)
The little NStCM train climbs from the lakeside in Nyon up to the Jura, to Saint-Cergue then La Cure.

A train ride that is simple and a real change of scenery.
