If you haven't yet visited the fantastic park at Signal de Bougy, then wait no longer. In fact, they are even putting up a great Family Package prize for a competition. Read on to find out how to enter.

Signal de Bougy was inaugurated in 1971 and is now part of the Pour-cent culturel Migros, the social commitment branch of the Migros Group. For over 50 years, activities in the park have multiplied, but the approach of the visitors has not changed. Days spent in the park are memorable. This timeless site, in the broadest sense of the term, represents several generations who are now bringing their children to enjoy a day out.

We caught up with Sylvie Hofstetter, who is in charge of marketing and communications, to find out what this new season brings.

What new features are being proposed for the 2022 season?

  • Jeu d'Énigmes: this new puzzle game is paired with an App and translated into English. The next one can be loaded on 9 April 2022. All you need is a smartphone or tablet with the Enigmatix application installed via the QR code from the website. A virtual companion will accompany you throughout the game and will give you clues when you need them, so don't worry, you will always be able to find your way. The game is free and available in French or English!
  • New workshops have been organized, in particular Urban'Mix.
  • Creative workshops.
  • Yoga and zumba classes for children.
  • A surprise in the Kid'z land is programmed for July but I can't say more... surprise, surprise!
  • We are enthusiastic about the return of 4 shows in July and August that can be reserved online for CHF 10.-/seat.
  • The Halloween mini disco on 6 November 2022 is a great deal for CHF 10.-/entrance and includes a drink.

What was the inspiration for your new Jeu d'Énigmes?
We had to find a solution to improve our Easter egg hunt which was a victim of its success in 2019. Unfortunately some customers were disappointed because barely 30 minutes after the start of the hunt, all 4,000 chocolate eggs had disappeared, thanks to very efficient hunters!

We had already tested a game of riddles, treasure hunt style in the fall of 2018 in the garden of Madame, which was successful. We decided to extend the Easter egg hunt throughout the Easter vacation and look for the eggs in a different way this time.

What was the biggest obstacle you had to overcome?
In 2021, we worked with another App that did not meet our expectations, the game could not be translated into English and it was difficult to use. We had to find an App that was very easy to use. And we are excited for this launch.

What are your plans for the future?
As far as the puzzle game is concerned, it is to propose two new themes: one for 1er août and one for Halloween to search out witches in the park! There will also be a new attraction in Kid'z land from 1 July 2022.

What is your favorite product and why?
This is a tough question because there is so much to do in the park. I will admit that I always get the chills when I go to see the Malbine Statues in Madame's Garden! These statues are so representative of our visitors! They look like real visitors. Moreover Malbine has such an exceptional background! As a woman I am impressed, she was a fighter.

I also love the various playgrounds, especially the water games near the pond. My boys played there so much when they were little! I didn't work for the park at that time but I can assure you that I spent hours watching them play with cups and water! We have spent many magical days at the park. This dates quite a bit as they are adults now!

Do customers give feedback?
Yes, at the end of the puzzle game, it is possible to give feedback and leave a comment. We are working on a project to give our visitors a say in their needs and opinions as this is really important to us.
