Characterised as it is by its great geographical diversity, deserves its reputation of being "Switzerland in miniature". Indeed, it can offer the peaceful shores of the Lake of Geneva, the gentle wooded slopes of the Jura, the lush green fields of the countryside as well as the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.
The Lake Geneva Region commands a very special, central position, located at the cross-roads of the major European thoroughfares.
Ever since the 18th century, the Lake Geneva Region, reputed for its beauty, has grown to be a holidaying region, visited by the great personalities of this world who were enchanted by the peace that emanates from its landscapes. The advantages of its climate and its diversity were appreciated long before that as, even as far back as Roman times, many tourist sites had come into being.
