Set on the shimmering shores of Lake Geneva and backed by the majestic Alpine peaks, the neighbouring Swiss resorts of Lausanne and Montreux are two of the most captivating destinations in the country, particularly in winter.

These cities are elegant and have loads of old-world charm, with a twinkly festive spirit that lights up as Christmas approaches. Both Lausanne and Montreux come alive with the sparkle of Christmas markets that rank among the best in Europe.
