Medieval towns, lakeside castles and the rare vintage of the Lavaux around Lake Geneva.

The largest lake in Western Europe, Lake Geneva shimmers along the border of Switzerland and France between the Jura Mountains in the north and the Alps in the south. The deep-blue waters invite swimming and boating, and the shore is dotted with medieval villages, cosmopolitan cities, terraced vineyards and peaceful beaches.

Our specialists know the highlights as well as the lesser-known destinations, and can plan your trip to the Lake Geneva region according to your preferences. Whether you wish to venture into the mountains for hikes and Alpine fondue, or lounge on the shores of the Montreux Riviera, our experts will craft a journey just for you.

You can explore the cobbled streets of Vevey and Montreux, whose old towns bewitch with their narrow, brightly painted houses and fortress-like castles along the lake shore. In Montreux, you can attend the world-renowned jazz festival, or pay homage to the statues of musical greats, including Freddie Mercury, that adorn the town’s waterfront. Stroll the stately streets of the lake’s namesake city, Geneva, where a fountain shoots water high into the air. Or tour the Lavaux wine region, whose vineyards produce wines you can’t taste anywhere else.
