Les Pléiades and the AstroPléiades trail
Want a trip that combines mountain trains, stars, and flower-filled meadows? At Les Pléiades, above Blonay, your children take the train from Vevey, walk along a path dedicated to the solar system, and discover a 360-degree panorama of Lake Geneva and the Alps.
Family theater: the young audience season at Beausobre in Morges
In Morges, the Théâtre de Beausobre presents a youth program each season designed for families: puppetry, storytelling, musical theater, and circus, to provide children with their first great emotions of live performance.
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.
Ranch Paradisio
In Begnins, on the heights of La Côte, Ranch Paradisio is a family stable where children meet ponies, horses and small farm animals. Pony rides, courses, camps and farm birthday parties for 3-12 year-olds. Booking by phone; exact address and prices to be confirmed directly with the ranch.
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. For children, the journey is already an adventure: you leave Lake Geneva, you gain altitude, and you arrive at the gateway to the trails and sledging slopes. A train ride that is simple and a real change of scenery.
Port of Torry and new shores of Mies-Tannay
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.
Signal de Bougy - Pré-Vert Park
Above Rolle, the Pré-Vert Park of Signal de Bougy stretches over 110 hectares of nature with views of the lake and the Alps: wildlife park, treetop adventure, little train, mini-golf, and shows. An essential family outing on La Côte.
Grand-Champ Ice Rink
Every winter, a mobile ice rink covering about 525 m² is set up at the Grand-Champ sports complex in Gland, from late October to early March. Free access, affordable skate rentals, and activities for children: it's the family gathering of the cold season on La Côte.
