When people move to Nyon, there is often a period of discovery. You might arrive because of a new job, a partner, a relocation or simply a desire for a different way of life. You quickly learn where to buy groceries and how to navigate the Swiss train system. Then come the other questions.
What is happening this weekend?
Where do people go for a good hike?
Which festivals are worth going to?
How do you meet people?
Which local businesses should be on your radar?
Finding answers can take time, particularly when you are living in a country where much of the information is not always available in English. That is one of the reasons Living in Nyon was created.
Connecting International Residents Since 2009
Since 2009, Living in Nyon has been helping English-speaking residents feel more connected to life on La Côte. Over the years, the platform has grown from a blog and community resource into a website covering local news, events, culture, business, interviews and community life.
Today, Living in Nyon reaches thousands of readers through its website, newsletter and social media channels. What has remained unchanged is the original goal: helping people feel more at home. Discovering a local festival, learning about a Swiss tradition, finding a family activity, meeting a local business owner or simply understanding what is happening around town, Living in Nyon aims to bridge the gap between international residents and the community around them.
Helping People Connect With Life on La Côte
Living in Nyon has always been about helping people feel more connected to where they live. Each week we research local events, interview community members, spotlight local businesses and share stories that help people discover what is happening across the region.
Alongside our articles and newsletters, we also maintain a free community events calendar where local organisations, associations, businesses and residents can submit events for inclusion. From major festivals such as Paléo and Visions du Réel to charity fundraisers, workshops, exhibitions and community gatherings, the aim is to make it easier for people to find and take part in what is happening locally.
As a non-profit association, Living in Nyon relies on the support of its readers and a small number of carefully selected sponsors and partners. These partnerships help keep the platform running, support the creation of local content and allow us to continue providing free information, resources and event listings. And we do not want to stop there. We want to keep building, growing and finding new ways to connect people with life on La Côte.
Could Your Business Be a Good Fit?
Many of our sponsors are businesses based locally on La Côte or in the wider Lake Geneva region. Some provide professional services. Others work in hospitality, health and wellbeing, finance, education, property or community initiatives.
What they share is a desire to connect with an engaged and international audience.
Sponsorship opportunities can include:
Sponsor spotlight articles and interviews
Featured business profiles
Homepage visibility
Newsletter inclusion
Social media promotion
Opportunities to collaborate on community events
Most importantly, sponsorship helps support a platform that continues to provide free local information to thousands of readers every year.
