Of course, there are other vessels that offer direct routes to cities like Lausanne and Montreux, as well as to other towns nestled along the lake's shores.
Jet d'Eau: The Iconic Water Fountain
At the mouth of the Rhone River which continues its flow towards France, lies one of Geneva’s and indeed the world's most renowned tourist attractions. The fountain propels about 500 liters of water to a height of 140 meters. It operates throughout the year, except on particularly freezing days or when the wind is excessively strong.
Chamonix and Mont Blanc
The quaint village of Chamonix is located just across the French border, about an hour and a half drive from Geneva through the stunning Arve Valley.
Nestled at the foot of Mont Blanc, which soars to a height of 4,800 meters, making it the tallest peak in Western Europe, Chamonix offers a unique experience. For a true appreciation of the Alpine summits, it's recommended to take a cable car to the Aiguille du Midi peak for a panoramic view of Mont Blanc and the surrounding French, Swiss, and Italian Alps.
