Golf Club, Academy and Restaurant

Landscapes and Trails Along the Talent

The former municipal area included a section of the gently rolling Gros-de-Vaud plateau, the largely wooded Talent valley, and open farmland in the higher areas. The open farmland at higher elevations and the largely wooded Talent valley formed distinct parts of the former municipal area's landscape. This description of the former municipal area complements the location of the small hamlet on the plateau at the eastern edge of the valley.

The Boucle des Gorges du Talent passes close to Golf du Brésil in Goumoëns-le-Jux. The route follows the Talent river and crosses hilly trails. It requires good physical fitness; on some sections, you may need to push your bicycle. If you plan to include the loop in your trip, take these requirements into account and check current route conditions in advance.

Local History Across Several Periods

Goumoens-le-Jux was first mentioned in 1447 under the name Gumoens lo Jux and was known as Le Craux during the Ancien Régime. Another historical connection is Albrecht von Haller: he acquired the lordship of Goumoens-le-Jux in 1764 and adopted the name H. de Goumoens. The history of the name and Haller's acquisition thus belong to different periods in the area's history.

The municipality's affiliations have also changed: on 1 July 2011, Goumoens-le-Jux became part of the new municipality of Goumoëns through a merger with Éclagnens and Goumoens-la-Ville. The sequence of its first mention, the history of its lordship and the municipal reorganisation provides a timeline alongside today's themes of golf and landscape.
