The Swiss side of the lake features a string of picturesque cities, the largest of which is Geneva.

Took a 1 hour tour from Lake Geneva to Mont Blanc and back during the summer of 2022. Such a serene, relaxing 1 hour boat ride with amazing views.

Beautiful place to spend time, relax, swim, walk or take a boat ride. If you are a tourist you will get free Geneva transport pass from your hotel. Yellow boats are included in your pass. Otherwise you can take the flashy electric toy train around the lake
