Event Details
When does the Paléo Festival Nyon 2027 take place?
The Paléo Festival Nyon runs from 19 to 25 July 2027. Switzerland's largest open air festival marks its 50th edition with an exceptional seven day run instead of the usual six, and organisers have announced an especially extensive program for the anniversary.
Where is the festival held and how do you get there?
The festival takes place on the Plaine de l'Asse in Nyon, located between Geneva and Lausanne on the shore of Lake Geneva. Travelling by train is strongly recommended: from Geneva, the SBB/CFF railway reaches Nyon in about 17 minutes, and a free rack railway (NStCM) then takes festivalgoers with a valid ticket straight to the site. Walking from Nyon station along the lit Route de St Cergue takes roughly 30 minutes and is also an option. TCS coaches from across French speaking Switzerland and regional CarPostal buses also serve the festival grounds.
