Launching from tree to tree at the Adventure Park of Saint-George (VD)

A Sports Interlude in the Heart of the Vaud Jura

Between Nyon and the Marchairuz Pass, the Saint-George Adventure Park invites families to reach new heights among the fir trees. The atmosphere is simple and warm: you gear up, listen to the briefing, and then choose a course based on your age and desire. It’s a great idea when looking for an outdoor activity that is fun and full of energy, without having to travel far.

What Your Children Will Love

The slightly moving walkways, the zip lines that bring smiles, the monkey bridges to cross step by step. The youngest discover low and progressive courses designed to gently acclimatize them to heights. The older ones tackle more athletic workshops with real sensations, always in safety. You often hear “I did it!” when reaching the next platform.

For parents, the forest provides coolness in summer, the team reassures, and the very concrete aspect helps work on balance, coordination, and confidence. It’s also a good ground to learn to manage a small risk, listen to instructions, and support each other as a family.

What You Do There, Specifically

• Welcome and equipment with harnesses and safety lanyards.
• Mandatory briefing and test on a low-height line.
• Autonomous courses, from the easiest to the most challenging, with the possibility to change if needed.
• Breaks on benches or picnic areas in the shade of the trees.

Most families spend between 2 and 3 hours on site, depending on the age of the children and the number of courses chosen. The activity is sporty and fun, but everyone progresses at their own pace.

Before You Go

• Ages: from around 4–5 years on the "pitchounes" courses (limited height). Taller and longer courses from around 7–8 years. Some workshops require a minimum height or weight: check before you leave.
• Reservation and rates: paid entry, harness included. Reservation is recommended on weekends and during holidays. Sports gloves are sometimes advised (or sold on site).
• Access and stroller: the site is at the edge of the forest. The paths near the welcome area are accessible with all-terrain strollers, but the courses are not. Notify if you are coming with a baby.
• Public transport: access via train to Rolle or Gland, then CarPostal bus to Saint-George. Expect a short walk from the village stop (according to local signage).
• To bring: closed shoes, flexible clothing, tied hair, a light jacket depending on the weather, water, and snacks. In summer: cap, sunscreen, insect repellent. In mid-season: extra layers.
• Safety: systematic briefing, lifelines, and carabiners. The children's courses use anti-fall systems. The team monitors and intervenes if needed.
• Season: ideal from spring to autumn, in dry weather. The park may close in case of strong winds or storms.

Parents' Tips

• Arrive early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy a peaceful forest.
• Start with an easier course to build confidence, especially with young children.
• Bring bicycle-type gloves: better grip and fewer blisters.
• A small picnic and plenty of water work wonders between two zip lines.
• Check the required height/size for the desired courses before announcing anything to the children.
• After the activity, a short walk in the Vaud Jura allows for a gentle landing.

Why We Recommend It

Because it’s an adventure tailored for children, in a stunning natural setting. You climb, laugh, sometimes hesitate, and then push your limits. The benefits are clear: fine and gross motor skills, concentration, emotional management, self-confidence, and family support. And that little hint of adrenaline remains a great motivation to walk, listen, and try again.

In Two Words

An adventure park in the forest, accessible from the Côte, that combines nature and sensations with courses for every age. A simple and delightful outing to get the kids outside.
