Since the dawn of European history, Switzerland has enjoyed a privileged position at the crossroads of the continent. For centuries, the
Lake Geneva Region in particular has been a key communication hub. The region possesses a highly efficient transport system - which, in turn, is integrated into the densest national network in the world. Countless combinations of travel by train, ship, funicular, bus and aerial cableway open up to visitors a wealth of scenic splendour and excursion destinations.
Switzerland in compact form, the Lake Geneva Region - with its landscape of contrasts - harmoniously blends the graceful palm-studded shores of its blue lakes with a majestic glacier and rolling countryside with the sweet and savage Jura forests.
