During the hot summer months, there is no better place to be than by the water. Ideal for keeping fit, having fun and keeping cool; Lake Geneva is a haven to escape to within the Swiss landscape. The Beau-Rivage Palace is perfectly located on the stunning shores of Lake Geneva in the historic city of Lausanne, there is nowhere better to turn over a new leaf and get healthy with its outdoor tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, sailing on the stunning Lake Geneva, hiking and jogging paths… the energetic list on and off the water is endless!
Whether a group endeavour or solo mission, get yourself out onto the lake for a variety of exciting activities the hotel offers throughout the summer. Learn to sail or if you prefer the wind in your hair, some speed and a kick of adrenaline, choose from a selection of exciting water sports. The hotel also has access to a seven-seated electronic boat, with a bathing platform and small table, grab a picnic and take the whole family out onto the lake to explore.
Undoubtedly, one of the highlights of a stay at The Beau-Rivage Palace is a trip on the wonderful steamer “Le Montreux”. Public cruises are available throughout July and August and the steamboat is available for private charter for the rest of the year and travel across the lake in a beautiful piece of Swiss history. “Le Montreux” is the oldest steamboat of the Compagnie Générale de Navigation, which was lovingly refurbished in 2001 and elegantly accommodates passengers on Belle Epoque journeys around the lake.
If you prefer the comfort of the hotel, it’s also easy to enjoy the delights of the lakes scenery and with a variety of other sports. A wide range of fitness and coaching sessions are available including tennis lessons and personal training sessions, even the hotel’s expansive fitness centre has views over the lake, sure to keep one going on the treadmill that little bit longer. You can also rent a bicycle and go for a tour around the lake and up into the vineyards.
At the end of the day, the award-winning Cinq Mondes Spa is the perfect post-fitness destination for a well-deserved massage or facial; and the hotel’s world-class restaurants and bars enable a healthy ‘refuel’ in style.
