During the spring and summer months the landscape surrounding the shores of Lake Geneva transforms into a blast of colour with vivid foliage carpeting the countryside, this is mirrored every Saturday and Wednesday morning on the streets of Lausanne at the local farmers market which offers a wide range of fresh produce. This traditional Swiss market includes stalls filled with fresh fruit and vegetables and an abundance of flowers, transporting the brilliant colours of the countryside into the historic cobbled streets of the city. When we visit the Beau-Rivage Palace during a weekend, this is always our first stop after a walk around the lake!
The Beau-Rivage Palace is located on the lake, an ideal spot on the shores of Lake Geneva. The hotel are offering guests a range of fun, new activities to get the whole family involved during their stay this summer. One of these activities, inspired by the Swiss countryside, is a flower arranging class which is on offer for both adults and children. The hotel’s resident florist will be on hand to offer support and guidance to create beautiful bouquets for guests to keep for themselves or as a special present for a family member!
Other ways to enjoy the colourful Swiss landscape in the summer from a new viewpoint is by going out onto the water. Only half an hour away is Lake Sauvabelin is a lovely spot for a walk and picnic surrounded by the flowers and forest, there is also an authentic Swiss chalet, rustic restaurant and animal park.
Enjoy the warm, colourful season the Swiss landscape transforms into this summer. From the vibrant street market in the city centre on a Saturday morning to the fresh open spaces that the lakes and countryside has to offer. Or instead, a more intimate experience at The Beau-Rivage Palace creating beautiful arrangements with your loved ones, learning a new skill in addition to your summer break in Lausanne.
