Genève-Plage, Public beach in Cologny, Switzerland
Genève-Plage is a public bathing beach on the shores of Lake Geneva in Cologny with spacious green areas and modern facilities. The site offers a large swimming pool, water slides, and additional water sports options for visitors of all ages.
The beach was created in the second half of the 20th century as part of the development of Lake Geneva for recreational purposes. This transformation made the waterfront accessible to the general public and fundamentally changed how this area was used.
This lakeside location brings together people from different parts of the city who spend their summer days by the water and enjoy the sun. It functions as a meeting place where locals and visitors naturally gather for recreation and social time.
The beach is best visited during the summer months when all pools and water slides are operational. Visitors should arrive early, especially on weekends when it gets crowded, and wear comfortable shoes for walking around the grounds.
The swimming pool meets Olympic standards and has long served as a training facility for athletes from the region. Many visitors overlook the high diving platform on the side, which is designed for experienced divers and regularly used for training sessions.
