The Nordics Club Geneva was founded in Geneva 1949 by young Nordic enthusiasts. It gathers people living around French speaking part of Switzerland and originating primarily from the Nordic countries – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and the Baltics – plus those who have a close attachment to these countries. The Club arranges various events during the year both for young people and families (depending on the interests and abilities of the always present Board). Among the various events are both classic Nordic traditions as well as events inspired by local Swiss customs.
