Activities in this guide, A to Z

About half of Thônex is a martial art

Sports is the largest category with 52 activities, and most of that is people learning to fall over safely. Service cantonal du sport alone runs 16 of them, and two more dojos teach karate and aikido alongside it.

If your child has asked to try a martial art and you would rather not drive across the canton, this is the commune to start in.

Music in Thônex

Music has 14 activities in Thônex, mainly at the Conservatoire Populaire.

That is the same conservatoire that teaches across Geneva, so the instrument range is wide rather than the one or two an individual school would offer.

Teenagers, properly served

35 of the 105 activities take 13 and over.

Martial arts is the reason. A dojo keeps taking a fourteen year old in a way that a lot of children's activities quietly stop doing.

The week is genuinely spread

Wednesday carries 59 activities, then Tuesday with 24, Thursday with 22 and Monday with 20.

So if Wednesday afternoon is already spoken for in your house, you have somewhere to look.

What it costs, and what you are committing to

Free is not really on offer: the count stands at 1 out of 105 activities.

It is also almost entirely a weekly commitment, with 103 of the 105 being ongoing classes rather than one-offs. Dojos and conservatoires both work on termly enrolment, so ask about joining mid-term rather than assuming you have missed the year.
