Lake Geneva and its shores, stretching for 72km from Geneva to Villeneuve, are truly outstanding! A mild climate, exceptional scenery, architectural and cultural wealth, vineyards and a wide variety of leisure activities all contribute to its manifold appeals. Indeed, it was also favoured by poets and artists, who moved here permanently. Today the site's overwhelming attractions are recognised by all, as the addition of the Lavaux vineyards on the UNESCO World Heritage List illustrates.
