Activities in this guide, A to Z

Two things, not one

Sport leads with 208 activities, then music with 62, the arts with 30 and dance with 13. Lancy has two big clubs, and they pull in different directions.

Lancy Natation runs 131 of them and Conservatoire Populaire de Musique, Danse et Théâtre another 43, so a household with one child who wants an instrument and one who wants to spar is covered in the same commune.

It is three places, and we count them as one

Lancy, Petit-Lancy and Grand-Lancy are one municipality, but educators list them separately, so a search for any one of them shows you only part of what is there. This page counts all 321 together.

That is the single reason Lancy looked smaller than it is. Petit-Lancy alone holds the boxing and a good share of the gymnastics.

The best free offering of the communes we run

14 of the 321 activities cost nothing, second only to Vernier. The municipal library and the Ville de Lancy culture programme carry most of that.

Treat it as a useful supplement rather than a way to fill a week.

Teenagers, and not many toddlers

90 of the 321 activities take 13 and over, mostly at the conservatoire and the dojo. 192 start between four and six.

The gap is at the bottom: only 14 activities take a child of three or under, so a family with a toddler may want to look at Meyrin or Vernier, which have 28 and 36 respectively.

Wednesday leads, but the week holds up

Wednesday carries 131 activities, then Saturday with 76, Thursday with 68 and Friday with 65. Sunday has 19 of them.

It is also a term commitment rather than a holiday one: 294 of the 321 are ongoing weekly classes, against 11 camps in the whole commune.
