aint-Cergue and the nearby peak of La Dôle, at the entrance to the Col de la Givrine in the Jura, provides wonderful views over Lake Geneva towards Mont Blanc. Initially a spa, a narrow-gauge railway runs from Nyon to the village and on as far as La Cure on the French border. There are 80 km of cross-country tracks that cross over into France, 20 km of undemanding downhill slopes with night-time skiing, winter hiking trails and snow-shoe walks. It is also an important centre for rearing dogs for dogs-sledging, which can also be tried out in the village. Unfortunately the main slopes are quite a walk away from the village and at the time of writing I am not aware of any ski bus serving this resort.
