Hotels in Lake Geneva, Switzerland
Lake Geneva straddles Switzerland and France, famous for the Lavaux terraced vineyards and Chillon Castle. Summers are mild (70-80°F / 21-27°C), perfect for sailing on the lake or hiking the vine-covered slopes. Winters are cold (30-40°F / -1 to 4°C), so you can ski in nearby Alps or catch the Montreux Jazz Festival in July-though that's summer, it's free street performances, not expensive tickets. The eastern shore around Montreux feels artsy with live blues and jazz, while Geneva's western side is all about the UN and Jet d'Eau fountain.
