3 Reasons

Stunning lakeside scenery

The rocky Swiss Alps dominate the background of Lake Geneva with their spikey peaks and snow-covered tops. Green hills roll into the distance with medieval castles sprinkled across the terrain. Vineyards are pushed up against the gentle slopes. Come to discover the culture among the Swiss mountains, and visit authentic sites like cheese farms or get up close and personal with the winemaking process.

Ranges of exploration

Lake Geneva, as one of the largest in Western Europe, presents a vast supply of hiking trails that roll with the mountains and cut through breathtaking natural beauty. And the accessible lands can be explored in a wide range of ways, from 1-day walking tours and weekend hikes flavoured with wine tasting sessions to 2-week hiking adventures and private outdoor cardio sessions.

Lake of inspiration

The glacial lake has been visited by many renowned writers who found great inspiration for their work in the breathtaking scenery and tranquil surroundings of Lake Geneva. Among the many crafters of words include Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Mary Shelley, who came up with the idea of Frankenstein after sheltering in their chalet during incessant rain storms.
