Lake holidays

Switzerland is truly a land of the lakes. It is an essential part of its charm just like other treasures of the wonderful Swiss nature. There is no sea in Switzerland; but it has a huge amount of clear lakes just Leman, Zurich, Maggiore, Boden, Lugano and many others.

Geneva lake (Evian, Geneva, Montreux, Vevey)

Montreux and Vevey are the most frequented resort on Lake Geneva and famous for its beautiful location in the southwestern part of Switzerland. Enhanced by the spectacular background of the Alps, the town of 20,000 inhabitants has charmed many people in the past. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, Montreux is regarded to be one of the noblest resorts in Switzerland.
