Vaud Overview

By Travel Expert: Christine Loomis

The Lake Geneva Region, or Canton Vaud, wraps around Lake Geneva and includes two mountain ranges. The Jura, separating the Rhine and Rhone rivers, straddles Switzerland's border with France. To the south, the Vaud Alps are home to four of Switzerland's Families Welcome resorts, meaning they have a wealth of programs, activities, and special offers for parents and kids.
