Lake Geneva

INFORMATION;..

• Geneva is as cosmopolitan as a city gets, known worldwide as the European seat of the United Nations and the headquarters of the Red Cross. In fact, Geneva is known as the “capital of peace.” , a fountain that jets 140 meters into the air at the edge of the lake. Geneva is separated, much like Zurich, into the Old Town (located on the left shore of the lake) and the newer section with most of the large hotels and top restaurants (on the right lake shore). There is a large international art scene here, and it’s the capital of Switzerland’s renowned watch industry — there’s even a museum dedicated to it
• The region that encompasses the city offers enchantingly Swiss panoramas of peaceful blue lakes backdropped by forested hills and snow-capped mountains. Farms and vineyards slope down the hillsides around the lake, along with grand, imposing castles. Chalet villages and the quiet Vallé de Jouxoffer places where nature remains unspoiled. In the wintertime skiing, snowshoeing and other winter activities (you can even have an igloo adventure!) beckon.
