With an average summer temperature of 25°C, the emblematic Léman combines the assets of a seaside resort with a majestic mountain backdrop.
Pleasant water temperatures that rival those of Mediterranean resorts, with the added bonus of fresh water! Thanks to its low altitude (372 m), an idyllic setting that allows you to see the Helvetian shores and the Swiss and Haute-Savoyard peaks at a glance, and attractive beaches set in lush green parks… It’s all postcard-perfect!
And let’s not forget the Pavillon Bleu label, a guarantee of water and beach quality. This year, it has been awarded to four sites in the region: the beach at the Centre Nautique d’Évian, the municipal beaches at Amphion-les-Bains (Publier) and Neuvecelle, and the municipal beach at Saint-Gingolph.
With a surface area of over 580 km², Lake Geneva, the largest lake in Western Europe, is much more than just a natural feature that acts as the Franco-Swiss border. A true hyphen in the shape of a crescent moon, the lake sometimes referred to as Lac de Genève has always been a major communication and transportation route.
