The fascinating town of Nyon welcomes visitors all year round and enjoys a warm and temperate climate.
When it snows, lovers of winter sports can take to the slopes in La Dôle, in the south-west of the
Vaudois Jura. From spring until the end of autumn there are beautiful walks through its natural
surroundings which are even recommended for those coming for treatment in the region’s clinics. In
summer, visitors can enjoy the numerous water sports on offer, including a dip in one of the
delightful outdoor swimming pools.
Summer in Nyon is also a time for festivities time so get out and enjoy yourself!
