Take on a 100-metre icy swim that tests stamina and spirit in a lively lakeside setting. Participants plunge into cold water in organised series, feeling the shock of the temperature transform into exhilaration and collective energy. Midday offers a brief, music-led dip for everyone, while saunas are available for participants afterwards. The experience balances physical challenge with playful social vibes, accessible to those who feel ready for a short but intense cold-water immersion.
Balades Théâtralisées invites audiences on an outdoor theatrical promenade that uncovers hidden city histories through staged scenes in natural settings. The troupe blends guided narration with short dramatic tableaux, favouring emotional resonance over strict historical reenactment. Soundscapes and simple lighting sculpt nocturnal and intimate atmospheres, while performers shift between storytelling and embodiment. The route alternates between the company’s traditional itinerary and a new underground-themed walk, creating a layered experience of memory, surprise and communal discovery.

More than a garden stroll. Geneva’s botanical gardens bring together plants from around the world across rockeries, greenhouses, thematic gardens and remarkable living collections. Come for the botany; stay for a slow wander among some seriously beautiful plants.
Run along the Aire’s riverside paths at your own pace, choosing from short sprints to longer endurance loops. Runners can tackle 1, 2, 5 or 10 km routes, while walkers choose 5 or 10 km, moving over flat riverside trails with occasional grassy sections. The atmosphere is buoyant and communal, driven by steady rhythm, friendly competition and shared effort. Fresh air, rhythmic footfalls and open river views make each lap feel both energizing and restorative, accessible to varied fitness levels.
Set sail alongside the 6mJI class for a regatta focused on these elegant racing boats. Organized by the Société Nautique de Genève, the event brings crews together for a shared contest on the water, where sailing skill, coordination and changing conditions shape every manoeuvre. Follow the boats as they race across the lake and enjoy the movement, precision and collective energy of competitive sailing in an open-air setting.
Walk through the cityscape that shaped Jorge Luis Borges, following a guided route that traces streets, squares and quiet corners tied to his life and work. The experience blends steady urban walking with close attention to architectural details and literary echoes, where fragments of story and memory surface amid façades and public spaces. A reflective, communal rhythm guides small groups, inviting participants to sense how the city’s textures and atmospheres are woven into Borges’s literature.
Explore the edges of your neighbourhood on a guided walking route that traces visible and invisible borders: passages, transition spaces and infrastructures that separate or connect urban life. The walk unfolds through streets and alleys with regular stops to observe, listen, photograph and collect traces, sounds and impressions. Expect close attention to textures, rhythms and unexpected details underfoot and overhead. Open to all and requiring no special knowledge, it’s a reflective yet lively morning of walking, listening and shared discovery.
