Saint-Cergue, pure nature

In the Vaudois Jura, a few minutes from Nyon and Lake Geneva, Saint-Cergue is a popular family resort, both winter and summer.

The village of Saint-Cergue (1,047 m) is a real gateway to the Vaudois Jura Regional Park, a site covering over 530 km2. Dominated by the Dôle (1677 m), pine forests, valleys and clearings offer spectacular views over Lake Geneva, the Alps and the Jura. Saint-Cergue and La Givrine can be reached by car or train from Nyon. In the refreshing pine-scented forests, there is a network of marked trails for hikers, quads, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing (120 km of trails) and dog sledding. There is also downhill skiing for families in Dôle and Saint-Cergue which also offers the unique experience of floodlit slopes in the centre of the village. Many winter night-time excursions end around a typically Swiss fondue in a mountain restaurant, like in Basseruche, which offers a multitude of activities in winter (show-shoeing, tobogganing) and summer (zip lines, Swin Golf).

Tour de La Dôle

Tour de La Dôle

St-Cergue

This hike from Saint-Cergue offers a beautiful panorama and ends at an outlook point at 1,677 metres altitude. After a hike of nearly half an hour, you are greeted by typical Jura landscape and surrounded by peace and quiet. A little higher, the vegetation changes, becoming more alpine and encircles the cirque of rocks of La Dôle. Buttercups and wild gentian stretch off into the distance. The panorama from the summit is majestic with Lake Geneva before you, the city of Geneva and its water spout to the west, and Mont Blanc to the south. A long descent, sometimes quite steep, goes through the trees.

To see, do, experience…
