Nature in Geneva

Geneva and its wider region offer a varied mix of natural and rural landscapes. The Allondon river winds through a protected floodplain to the west of the city, while the Arve and Aubonne are two further waterways that shape the countryside. The Barrage de Génissiat forms a broad reservoir along the Rhône. Beyond the urban core, sites such as Château d'Allaman, Château Choully, and the Abbaye de Bonmont sit within quietly pastoral settings, inviting a slower pace. Further afield, the Abbaye Sainte-Marie-d'Aulps in the Savoyard Alps reflects how closely this region connects the lakeshore with high-alpine terrain.
