Want To Explore Lake Geneva, Switzerland? It's About Time!
|
Lake Geneva, Switzerland is one of the most famous travel destinations in Europe. And for good reasons!
Dubbed 'Switzerland in miniature,' one of the main things that makes it so special is its geographical diversity. It spans multiple localities, including Nyon, Lausanne, Vevey, Villeneuve, and of course Geneva (Genève) and it's surrounded by everything from tranquil beaches and verdant hills and fields to snow-capped mountains.
Enclosed by quaint villages lined with vineyards and dotted with old castles, the region has offered an idyllic, old-world retreat for generations of jetsetters. The lake is admired for its magnificent crescent-shaped sweep looked over by the majestic Savoy Alps, as well as the French Dents-du-Midi mountains.
My name is Albrecht, but like my French speaking friends, you may also call me Albert.

Being Swiss (and multilingual), I'm proud of this region. From my home it's only a short drive to the lake region and whenever I have the time, I go there. There's a lot to see and do, both in summer and winter. But you won't have to do anything, really. You can also simply sit down and watch the lake.
This picture-perfect area — the blue lake set against the backdrop of green hills and the glistening white of the peaks — has inspired countless artists, including the Romantic English poet Lord Byron and the French novelist Victor Hugo.
Celebrities love this region.
IKEA founder and Europe's richest man, Ingvar Kamprad, lives close to Lausanne. Queen singer Freddie Mercury spent the last months of his life in Montreux while pop singer Phil Collins lives in a home overlooking the lake. The latter also goes for ex Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher - apparently his garage has room for thirty cars!
Despite its celebrities, banking tradition and high real estate prices, Lake Geneva, Switzerland is not only for the rich and famous. This web site will tell you how any traveler - big or low budget - can enjoy the priceless beauty of this wonderful part of Central Europe.
A place anyone must see at least once in his or her life.
I hope you will enjoy browsing this site just as much as I enjoy creating it. I look forward meeting you at the shore of Lake Geneva, Switzerland!
