Lake Geneva, Glacial lake in Western Switzerland and Eastern France
Lake Geneva extends 73 kilometers between Switzerland and France, reaching depths of 310 meters with clear blue waters fed by the Rhône River.
The lake area contained Roman settlements from 58 BC, including the establishment of Geneva and Lausanne as major trading centers along its shores.
The northern shore features terraced vineyards producing regional wines, while both Swiss and French shores contain multiple thermal spring resorts.
Regular passenger ferries connect 20 ports around the lake, providing transportation between Swiss and French communities throughout the year.
The lake experiences seiche phenomena where water levels oscillate between shores, causing variations of up to 1.5 meters in height.
