Lake Geneva & Vaud Regions

Train, Boat and Bus Experiences

Discover scenic train routes, lake cruises, and unique experiences — perfect for weekend trips, day outings, and seasonal adventures.

Lake Geneva, the Vaud region, and the route all the way to Geneva are especially rewarding to explore by public transport, with trains, boats, buses, trams, and local shuttles linking lakeside towns, vineyard terraces, city centres, and mountain views with ease. Move easily between Lausanne, Vevey, Montreux, Nyon, and Geneva, combining scenic rail journeys with CGN lake cruises, cross-lake boat connections, and well-connected bus and urban transport networks. Whether planning a relaxed day trip, a car-free weekend, or an everyday outing, the region’s integrated transport makes the journey part of the experience, offering flexible access to culture, nature, food, festivals, and the changing landscapes of western Switzerland.
