I hope they will extend their opening hours, last summer they were open until 9pm one day a week (Vernet).

I meant renew, the fee includes both places.

That's great to know. Thank you Mike 

Hi Mike,

Thank you for this information. Do you know if Vernet has a smaller sized pool in addition to the olympic sized one? 

Good shut 007, yes sauna and swimming pool for ch$6,00 a day...from last September they also change the public hours and now the pool is open Tuesday to Friday from 7h30 till 8h00pm, monday 12 noon till 6h00pm...

...and still very crawed at any time...good luck and have fun,

Karina yes, there is a smaller size pool next to the olympic one, at least at Vernet, Varembe I don't know because I have never been there.

Thank you Frederuca! i will go and check it out :)

You're welcome Sarah.
Yes 6 francs per day, or 20 francs for 30 days, and acces to both as I mentionned. Varembe has 3 pools, the biggest one is 30 meters long, 6 lines if not mistaken. Also has an outside pool opened in summer(no grass), and a restaurant on the ground floor( pool and sauna is below).
Vernet has 3 pools as well(+ sauna), biggest is 50 meters, smallest for kids, and an outside place for summer (grass). Also has a restaurant with great burgers. Free city wifi as well both places. 

forgot Karina, you're welcome

Cool, I didn't know that Varembé has a sauna as well. Thanks! Btw, do people in Geneva go to the sauna nude? Sorry for the silly question, but after three years in the U.S. I learned to be cautious...

Hi Monika, 
It's not a silly question. In most places, like Bains des Paquis, or Hotels , in Geneva nudity is normal and accepted. Some places have saunas for men and women separately, some commun. 
In Vernet and Varembé the use of swimm suit is manditory, as well as a towel. 

Thanks, Mike, now I am really glad that I asked

My pleasure

this is by far the most creative mispelling of my name that has ever been done, and I had many! :)

I take no responsability for the different variations of this tread !, and yes that includes any mispellings that may occur intentionaly or otherwise.

I'm with Monika, I had no idea there was a sauna at Varembe. Where? (I've swum there for years, though not in recent months.) Is it new?

Hi Federica,

I didn't spell your name incorrectly intentionally. It was just a typo. Apologies.

The one and only sauna I'd suggest in Geneva is at the Bains des Paquis: Sauna, Lake, Hammam, Turkish Baths, Massage, Relaxation room, and Champagne Fondue for afterwards.

no worries I figured that, I did not take it personally!

off-topic closed :)

It' s between the pool and the big glass windows that gives to the outside. 

Definitely a great place, specilay theyr fondue!, and theyr greek salad in summer is a must. As for sauna it's 20 francs per day (I don't know if they have regular rates), whereas Vernet and Varembe is 20 per month for pools and saunas. That's the reson I started this tread. As for massage I do have a tendency to recommend myself..., since it's my work.

Just wanted to add that also in Bain des Paquis nudity is not a must. Wearing a swim suit is also fine, in case you feel uncomfortable afterwards. It seems that the majority of women ar actually doing that - which makes me wonder what reputation the Gevea guys have ;-)

... feel uncomfortable otherwise...

How does one edit a post here???

Two more questions now that I finally made it to Varembé:

Is the monthly ticket for the Geneva pools valid for 30 days from the day of purchase, or is it always for one calendar month (i.e. Dec 1-31)?

And for how long is the 10 entries ticket valid? Is it valid for both Varembé and Vernets?
 

Hi Monika, 
The monthtly ticket is from day of purchase, valid for both places.
I don't know how long the 10 entries is valid ?, and it should be valid for both as well I would assume.

Yes, it is 20 CHF per month, see

http://www.ville-geneve.ch/fileadmin/public/Departement_3/sport/Tous_les_tarifs_des_installations_sportives_Ville_de_Geneve.pdf

(French only, sorry for that)

Bains de Cressy is also good but it's CHF 20.-- A POP!

Do you guys know if the Varembé pool is heated? I mean both the water and the building? Thanks!

The indoor pool is heated to 29 deg (according to http://www.badi-info.ch/a/genf.html - I can confirm it's quite warm) and the air is also fairly warm.

G´day all

Pool is heated up to 27°C, 27,5°C all year long. The building up to 28°C...enjoy!!

... and the 10 entry ticket for 54 CHF is valid for one year from the day of purchase.
