I have been a good few times on the evening boat that goes across around the lake while you eat on the boat. Price of course are not cheap, but considering the extra cost of bringing you around and giving you a beautiful view around the Leman Lake, just do it once. It is most advisable for Adult only, Couple,... More

The Belle Epoque steamer La Suisse was built in 1910 in nicely refurbished in the 70s, and it still is probably one of the most beautiful steam boats on the lake of Geneva. Take a gourmet dinner cruise, it is a nice combination of good food with a stunning scenery! More

Lovely old paddle steamer; go and have a look at the engine room. Also nice little wood-panelled café. More

Each year, we treat ourselves to this spectacular meal-on-water. It's not cheap, but it's absolutely delicious. Prepared by the 5* kitchen chefs of one of Lausanne's luxury hotels, we discovered this feat some 4 years ago and it became a tradition. If you're looking for something special, well, this certainly is! More

A must during the summer. Depending on the time one can spend two hours or even a whole day. We spend a whole day going from Coppet all the way to Montreux and did not even leave the boat! The areas are very different so it is never a boring trip. From the lovely views of Yvorre (once a pirate's... More

The paddle boat in Lausanne runs the biggest route in the Grand-Lac, the widest part of the lake. We bought the ticket to Thonon-les-Bains. The lake in Lausanne is huge and provide a paranomic view to the landscapes around, especially seeing the Alpes in the middle of the lake. Very awesome! More

Had a beautiful 3 hour trip on "La Suisse" Paddle Steamer which has been steaming for 100 years this year. My wife gave me a wonderful 50th Birthday treat going from Chateaux Chillon to Lausanne return and enjoyed a 3 course Dinner also. We experienced a wonderful time on this old steamer. What a wonderful way to pass the time... More
