Lac Léman is a large glacial lake and natural landmark straddling Switzerland and France. It serves as a regional cultural and recreational hub, hosting boat services, waterfront promenades, beaches, and watersports. Surrounded by cities like Geneva and Lausanne, the lake frames vineyards, historic towns and major cultural events.
Cross the open lake on a long 123 km course that tests endurance, seamanship and tactical skill. Expect variable winds, open-water stretches and close-quarters sailing at the start as a large international fleet races together. The experience mixes sustained physical effort with bursts of adrenaline during maneuvers, offering dramatic vistas and the rhythm of wind and waves. Suited to experienced racers and ambitious amateurs, it’s a legendary competition that rewards teamwork, stamina and a love of sailing.
On the Water Geneva is a free electronic music gathering that transforms the lake into a shared musical space. DJs perform from a catamaran while everyone listens from boats, paddles or inflatable floats, creating an immersive sound and visual experience. The lineup features local and international melodic house and house artists, fostering a relaxed, collective atmosphere where neighbours and visitors connect through music and performance. The event welcomes all members of the community to join together on the water.
Culture, curated weekly.
