Lake Geneva Region walking tours
Lake Geneva, called Lac Léman in French, curves along the south-west of Switzerland with the Alps of Savoy on the far shore. Geneva, at its western tip, is an international city of lakefront parks, a compact old town and the tall jet of water in the harbour. Lausanne climbs steeply from the port of Ouchy to its Gothic cathedral, and Montreux, at the eastern end, has a long flower-lined promenade that leads to Chillon Castle. Between Lausanne and Montreux the terraced vineyards of Lavaux run down to the water. This is the French-speaking part of the country, and frequent trains and lake boats link the three towns.
