Play boules

The boules court is freely accessible every day (the court is only illuminated when the outside stand is open).

* The lane is not accessible during the Gurtenfestival (mid-July).

Use of the boules court is free of charge.

Ball rental: CHF 15.– per hour + deposit

The balls can be hired at the Bahnhöfli during opening hours.

Rules:

Start of the game: One player throws the target ball (“piggy”) to a distance of 6 to 10 meters.

Throw: Players take turns throwing their metal balls to place them as close as possible to the piggy.

Teams: The game is played between two teams consisting of one to three players. Each player has two or three balls, depending on the number of players in the team.

Techniques: Players can roll or throw their ball to push the opponent's balls away or place them better.

Scoring method:

Scoring: after each round, the team scores points for each ball that is closer to the piggy than the opposing team's best ball.

End of the game: A game ends as soon as one team reaches 13 points.

These rules make for an exciting and strategic game that requires both skill and tactical thinking.
