A weekend on the shores of Lake geneva

Lausanne is synonymous with Lake Geneva, the Lavaux vineyards, the historic heart of the city, as well as terraces, festivals, little restaurants. Also dubbed “Little San Francisco” or “The pearl of Lake Geneva”, Lausanne is the city of choice for a long weekend of fun, relaxation and a change of scenery.

The Highlights

Once the fine weather arrives, the shores of Lake Geneva come alive with walkers and aficionados of the wheel (skates, skateboards, scooters) sharing the floral quays of Ouchy. The lake offers heaps of activities in and on the water.
