 Ski resort by vanessadb
A little further, and thus better for at least an overnight stay are the Swiss Alps. In Vaud you have Leysin, Villars, Les Diablerets, and even further but yet where the best ski resorts are in Valais: Verbier, Crans, Nendaz, etc.
If you did not bring your skiing or snowboarding equipment, you can easily rent everything you need in all the resorts or in Geneva itself before you go. Leave a Comment Theme: Skiing/Snowboarding

 Sailing on the Leman by vanessadb
The water temperature tends to be cold even in the Summer though, as the lake is fed by the glaciers around...
Many places on the lake rent sailing and motor boats, as well as all the other equipment you need, like waterskis for example. One of them, « Les Corsaires » is located on Quai Marchand des Eaux-Vives, which is also a navigation school. Leave a Comment Theme: Boating/SailingPhone: 022/ 735 43 00

Friday night we went to watch Servette play against Langnau - Swiss top league. Good game but a disappointing crowd.
Well, warm clothing to start. Also a telephone number for a taxi if you need one. None go past - we waited a while. Plenty money as well - not cheap to get in.

Travel by cable car to the top of Aiguille du Midi and enjoy a breathtaking panorama over the Swiss, French and Italian Alps. If the weather permits, you will be able to see the Matterhorn. Free time to visit the charming village of Chamonix is also part of this excursion. Leave a Comment Theme: Hiking

 Straight fro the 70ies ? by Djinn76
Well, it's fun bun not entirely true. I thought I could skate along the lake for quite a while. Indeed only the area around the city has its own dedicated path. If you go a bit further, the lake become private :-(
At the end, that still provides a couple of kilometers of fun but be careful, this could be quite crowded as well!
Definitely better, every Monday there is a ride organized by locals, they know where to take you.
Have a look to the following website for more details. Leave a Comment
