Towns & Lakes: holiday scents

The mountain-lined lakes in the Lake Geneva Region offer inexhaustible natural reflections. The lakeside towns in this region are attractive destinations for congresses and seminars.

© Christof Schuerpf

In the Lake Geneva Region, the scenery around the lakes lined by vineyards and beautiful residences set against the Alps or the Jura provides a fabulous and eternal sight that neither inhabitants nor visitors ever tire of. The sun, the clouds and the water play the leading roles.

The shores are lined with steep, thousand-year old vineyards which enjoy generous sunshine and which produce a dry, mineral white wine: Chasselas. This wine is the ideal accompaniment of what the lakes have to offer to gastronomy: arctic charr, trout and perch fillets.

Sitting on the vast deck of a huge Belle-Époque line boat, visitors can also enjoy a dish of fish while contemplating the beautiful scenery of the littoral.

As a source of flourishing exchanges, the lakeshores play host to many towns that have been built around them. They are a natural focus of cultural and commercial offers and are highly appreciated as congress venues.
