Hotels in Vaud, Switzerland

Vaud is a Swiss canton along Lake Geneva's northern shore, with a temperate climate that brings warm summers averaging 77°F (25°C) and snowy winters around 30°F (-1°C). Famous for the terraced Lavaux vineyards, a UNESCO site, you can hike through the vine rows in summer or taste local Chasselas wines in autumn.
