Learn more about hotels in Lake Geneva

Nestled amid the Alps, Lake Geneva, or le Léman, is a magnificent, deep lake shared between Switzerland and France, with a remarkable 60% belonging to Switzerland and 40% to France. Ranking as one of the largest lakes in Western Europe and the most expansive on the Rhône's course, Lake Geneva's enthralling landscape is the result of diverse formations such as sedimentation, tectonic folding, and glacial erosion.

Divided into three distinct sections: Haut Lac (Upper Lake), Grand Lac (Large Lake), and Petit Lac (Small Lake), Lake Geneva offers a diverse range of breathtaking views and activities. The Seujet Dam in Geneva regulates the lake's surface elevation ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for various leisure activities, including sailing, wind surfing and scuba diving. The lake is also a haven for wildlife, featuring creatures such the characterful common buzzard and the red kite.

When to visit Lake Geneva

Whether you seek to bask in the warmth of the sun or revel in the snow-capped glory of the Swiss Alps, choosing the ideal time to visit Lake Geneva is key. The best time to soak up the fullness of Lake Geneva's splendour is between July and August, during its petite peak season. For skiing enthusiasts, December to April offers prime conditions, but make sure to pack your warmest coat as it can be a tad chilly.

September to November and May to June provide a beautiful compromise in the shoulder seasons, offering pleasant weather and fair prices. However, if you fancy nabbing a bargain on hotels and airfare, it's best to steer clear of Christmas and Easter. Key events like the exuberant Lake Parade, the grand Fêtes de Genève, and the world-renowned Geneva International Motor Show also promise memorable experiences.
