Le Bouveret, nestled at the southern tip of Lake Geneva at the foot of the Valais Alps, is a unique lakeside and alpine destination where water, nature, and relaxation come together. This charming village, both peaceful and lively, offers an idyllic setting between lake, mountains, and forests, at the crossroads of French-speaking Switzerland and the Valais.

Thanks to its privileged location, Le Bouveret enjoys a mild microclimate and exceptional light, ideal for outdoor activities and moments of calm. In summer, the lake becomes a true playground for adventure: family beaches, watersports, boat cruises, paddleboarding, sailing, or simply relaxing by the water fill the sunny days.

It’s also a favourite family destination, home to the Swiss Vapeur Parc, a delightful miniature world of steam trains, and Aquaparc, one of Switzerland’s largest water parks. Around the village, lakeside walks, cycling paths, and panoramic trails invite exploration, while the nearby mountains offer wonderful opportunities for hiking and excursions.

In winter, Le Bouveret becomes a peaceful lakeside haven, perfect for a romantic getaway or a restful retreat. Its proximity to Valais ski resorts such as Champéry, Torgon, and Ovronnaz makes it an ideal base between lake and mountains.

Combining authenticity, warmth, and the gentle Valaisan way of life, Le Bouveret charms visitors year-round with its natural beauty and welcoming atmosphere.
