2024 Edition Our one-week itinerary based in Geneva has been carefully curated by Louis, a born and raised Geneva local. In this guide, we'll explore the beauty of Western Switzerland, including the enchanting lake-side destinations of Montreux, The Lavaux, Gruyères, and Lausanne, and discover some hidden gems in neighboring France, like the medieval village of Yvoire, located on the shores of Lake Geneva. We make hotel, restaurant, and train recommendations along the way to take the stress out of planning - all you need to do is immerse yourself in the culture, cuisine, and natural beauty of Switzerland while enjoying a hassle-free and expertly planned itinerary!
