Vineyards are scattered across the landscape of the Lake Geneva Region, keeping picturesque wine-growing villages in business. This region, which has attracted famous people such as Charlie Chaplin and David Bowie, seems to be straight out of a fairy-tale. Lush vegetation makes this area perfect for vacations and sporting events. Downhill and cross country skiing are popular winter sports, and igloo adventures and hot-air balloon rides are popular as well.
