Hotels in Vaud, Switzerland
Vaud is a Swiss canton on the shores of Lake Geneva, famous for its terraced Lavaux Vineyards (a UNESCO site) and alpine ski resorts. The climate is mild in summer (70-80°F/21-27°C), great for hiking through the vineyards or sailing on the lake, while winter (30-40°F/-1 to 4°C) brings skiing at Les Diablerets or Villars, plus snowshoeing trails. The region splits: the lakeside offers wine-tasting and visits to Chillon Castle, but the alpine villages focus on winter sports and fondue evenings.
