Avenches (Lake Geneva Region)
The sound of loud cheering still regularly fills the 2,000- year-old amphitheatre in Avenches.
Château-d'Oex/Rougemont (Lake Geneva Region)
Thanks to its favourable microclimate, the family resort of Château d'Oex has become a mecca for hot-air balloon enthusiasts. Other guests are happy, too – for it means they can take passenger flights, year-round.
Lausanne (Lake Geneva Region)
"Above and below" is the theme along Lausanne's new M2 metro line from June to September: such is the name of the third edition of the "Lausanne Jardins" garden festival.
Les Diablerets (Lake Geneva Region)
The scene seems to belong in a picture book: rising dramatically above the resort is Glacier 3000, named after its great altitude.
Leysin/Les Mosses (Lake Geneva Region)
Here everything revolves around the view... Up on the summit of the Berneuse stands Le Kuklos (Greek for "circle"), a restaurant whose shape hints at the form of the two neighbouring mountains Tour Mayen and Tour d'Aï.
Montreux-Vevey (Lake Geneva Region)
Montreux invariably delights its guests: with the most beautiful lake promenade in Switzerland, for starters. "This must be heaven", sang an enchanted Freddie Mercury.
Nyon/Morges/Rolle (Lake Geneva Region)
This castle is living history. Swiss history, to be precise, because the Château de Prangins, set in romantic grounds high above Lake Geneva, is dedicated to the history of Switzerland in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Payerne (Lake Geneva Region)
It could hardly be more impressive: the monumental former abbey church, dating from the 11th century, that dominates the medieval centre of Payerne.
Vallée de Joux (Lake Geneva Region)
Jaeger-LeCoultre, Blancpain, Audemars Piguet, Breguet: these names are music to the ears of admirers of beautiful watches.
Villars-Gryon (Lake Geneva Region)
It would be hard to find better value anywhere: up here on the sunny mountain terrace of Villars-Gryon, the views of Mont Blanc and the Rhone valley are priceless – and (nearly) everything else is free.
