Just a 15 km drive from Geneva visitors will find the famous local hot springs of the Pays de Gex, incorporating the towns of St. Genis, Gex and Ferney. Praised for their healing powers, the hot springs are part of the resorts in each town and travelers can partake of their healing qualities by visiting the thermal baths and spas offered for additional pampering and well-being. The Pays de Gex is located at the foot of the imposing Jura Mountain range, offering further opportunities for sightseeing trips following the scenic routes up to some of the peaks.

Geneva offers visitors also a wealth of outdoor activities from rafting adventures on the Arve River to wine tasting to mountain climbing or Alpine hot air ballooning.

Seeing the Alpine world of Switzerland from high above the peaks is an unforgettable experience - and hopping into the hire car afterwards to partake of a hearty meal with a hot drink at the hotel isn't bad either!
