Lausanne, Switzerland Bordering Lake Geneva, Lausanne is full of museums, luxury resorts, farm-fresh restaurants, and sprawling vineyards. It’s also the launching point to scenic hiking, mountain biking, and more. Where to Stay Beau-Rivage Palace On the heels of a 28 million dollar renovation, <a href=https://www.brp.ch/en/home/ target=_blank>this historic resort</a> (opened in 1861) hugs the shore of Lake Geneva, providing majestic views of the Swiss Alps.

The botanical gardens, Musée et Jardins Botaniques Cantonaux on the Montriond Ridge (a former glacial moraine), have alpine rock gardens, winding paths, and 6,000 plant species, though the true highlight is the sweeping view of Lake Geneva and the Swiss Alps from the garden’s peak. For longer hikes, head to Mauvernay forest for three trails varying in length but up to 10 miles, one equipped with 15 exercise stations. Ride the train to an epic mountain biking spot. Take a locomotive ride (it’s less than an hour) to Les Pléiades, one of the most famous mountain towns known for cross-country skiing.
