Canton Vaud, situated in the Lake Geneva Region,
extends from the peaceful Jura Mountains up to the fascinating Vaudoise
Alps and along crystal–clear and majestic lakes that blend into the
authentic charm of the landscape.
Summer
Gently sloping vineyards border the shores of the lake, with the
capital city of Lausanne across from the highest Alpine peaks. Lively
towns and small wine-growing villages appear scattered at random. The
region seems half dream and half reality, but the people in the farm
villages who work the wheat fields on the plain above the lake, the
inhabitants of the medieval towns and the original inhabitants of the
castles have always had both feet planted firmly on the ground. In the
quiet Vallé de Joux, nature remains unspoiled. The Jura mountains lie to
the north and the Vaud Alps to the east, with lush pastures, chalet
villages, mountain peaks and glaciers - as well as sunny ledges
ready-made for a relaxed vacation and sporting adventures.
