Lake Geneva Region
Switzerland in a nutshell: The Lake Geneva Region has a wide diversity of landscapes, from calm lakeshores and the rolling wooded hills of the Jura, to the lush green of the hinterland and the mighty alpine peaks.
Pine trees and palms, pastures and fields, villages and cities – a region of contrasts.

Right in the middle

In the heart of Europe, the Lake Geneva Region can easily be reached by car, train or plane via Geneva Cointrin international airport.

One region, four worlds

The mountains and lakes, countryside and cities of the Lake Geneva Region – four completely different worlds waiting to be explored: the Jura, with its pastures, traditional handicrafts and its world-famous watch brands, the hinterland, a paradise for country holidays, with leisurely walks and historical villages, the Alps, with their typical mountain villages, and the cosmopolitan cities on the shores of Lake Geneva. Take a stroll through one of the cities or a step back in time in the mediaeval castles, towns and villages of the region. Explore the hills and valleys of the countryside or hike alpine trails. Visit one of the many regional museums or one of the region’s famous festivals – whatever takes your fancy. A day, a weekend, a week or longer – let yourself be inspired!
