Set against the first slopes of the Jura, Trélex (1270) is a rural village in the canton of Vaud, between Nyon and Genolier. Its distinctive asset is its link to the Nyon–St-Cergue–Morez railway (NStCM), which connects Nyon station directly to the village. This way of getting around is unusual in the region. It is valued by residents who work in town and do not want to depend on a car for the daily commute.
The village has kept its old core, around the church and the central village square, surrounded by meadows and orchards.
A rural village well connected to Nyon
Besides the NStCM, the cantonal road and the nearby Nyon motorway junction make it easy to travel to Geneva and Lausanne alike. The Genolier clinic, a regional landmark, is just minutes away, as are the local schools. The village keeps an active community life, including a shooting club, a mixed choir and a parish, carried by its modest size and rural character.
Quiet detached housing
Trélex’s built environment is almost entirely made up of detached villas, often built on generous plots, with a few working farms still active on the outskirts. Supply is limited and turns over slowly; price benchmarks for this part of the Jura foothills appear on our price-per-square-metre page.
