Situated at the extreme south-western corner of Switzerland, Geneva
sits between the Alps and the Jura mountains, providing a dramatic
landscape and easy access to ski runs, vineyards, spas, and historic
towns. Found on the banks
of Lake Léman (also known as Lake Geneva), the lakefront
is one of the city’s greatest assets, filled with stunning
views, beautiful flowerbeds and elegant old homes.
If you’re staying in the city, Place du Bourg-de-Four (located
at
the heart of the Old Town) is full of magnificent 16th century architecture
and is a favourite meeting place for locals and tourists alike.
In contrast, Place Neuve has become the focal point of Genevan culture,
playing home to the Grand-Théâtre (opera), the Conservatory
of Music and a statue of Henri Dufour, national hero and first to
establish a map of Switzerland.
Outside the city, Geneva offers fabulous access to an abundance
of ski resorts. Whether you’re skiing or snowboarding, looking
for family-fun or off-piste challenges, Geneva offers the perfect
starting point for every experience. Book your holiday autos vehicle,
strap your skies to the roof and enjoy the powder. |
