Wedding venues on Lake Geneva

Planning a company event on Lake Geneva

Lake Geneva brings together an international business city, a university and sports capital in Lausanne, and resort towns built for hospitality in Montreux and Évian. Teams can meet in a lakeside grand hotel, cross the water by boat and end the day in the Lavaux vineyards.

When to go

Late spring to early autumn is ideal for terraces, boat trips and vineyard visits. Geneva hosts large international meetings and trade fairs through the year, which can fill hotels in the city. Winter suits a seminar paired with a day in the nearby Alps.

Getting the team there

Geneva Airport is close to the city centre and has a train station connected to the Swiss network, so teams can reach Lausanne and Montreux by rail. Fast trains run from Paris to Geneva and Lausanne. Switzerland is in the Schengen area but not the EU, so everyone should carry valid ID and check goods for customs.

Hotels and estates

Geneva and Lausanne have business hotels and conference centres for large groups. Montreux and Évian have grand hotels used to seminars, with meeting rooms, spas and lake views. Smaller teams can take over a manor or a wine estate on La Côte or in Lavaux for a quieter offsite.

Two countries, one lake

The Swiss shore uses the Swiss franc and the French shore the euro, so agree on billing and currencies early with venues and suppliers. Lake boats, including historic paddle steamers, can be chartered for a dinner cruise, and a walk or tasting in the Lavaux terraces makes an easy half-day activity.

Questions and answers

Which venues on Lake Geneva can host 100 guests or more?

Which venues on Lake Geneva list their meeting rooms?

24 of the 27 venues name their meeting and event rooms, with capacities where published: Beau-Rivage Palace, Château d'Ouchy, Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, Château de Prangins, Château de Glérolles, Montreux Music & Convention Centre, and 18 more.

What kinds of venues are listed on Lake Geneva?

10 hotels, 6 event spaces, 5 castles, 5 wineries, and 1 estate.

How are these venues chosen and ordered?

By documented renown first, then by how fully each venue is documented (photographs, rooms, capacities), never by payment: venues do not pay to appear and the guide takes no commission. How we select venues.

Where to hold a seminar on Lake Geneva?

In Geneva or Lausanne for business hotels and conference centres, in Montreux or Évian for grand hotels with lake views, and in the vineyards of La Côte or Lavaux for a smaller team that wants a quieter setting.

What team activities are there around Lake Geneva?

Boat trips and dinner cruises on the lake, walks and wine tastings in the Lavaux terraces, cycling along the shore, and in winter a day skiing or snowshoeing in the nearby Alps. Most suppliers work on both the Swiss and French shores.

How do you get a team to Lake Geneva?

By air to Geneva Airport, which has its own train station, or by fast train from Paris to Geneva or Lausanne. Swiss trains and lake boats then link the towns on the shore.
