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.
