Lake Geneva is the largest lake in Europe. Although its water is clear, it is quite cool, so swimming is only possible in July and August. The beaches are grassy and feature platforms.

However, tourists primarily come here not for the beach, but for the clean air, warm climate, and beautiful combination of subtropical vegetation and snow-capped mountain peaks.

Several well-known private medical institutions offering the most advanced and diverse treatment methods are located near Lake Geneva, as well as the picturesque Chillon Castle.
