3 Days In Geneva

And The Swiss

Riviera Itinerary

Morning
Your guide greets you in Geneva and introduces the city through its most refined identity: watchmaking. Inside a private atelier, you’ll discover the mechanics behind Swiss timepieces – tiny springs, polished bridges, patient craftsmanship. 

Late Morning
Continue with a two-hour guided exploration of the Old Town. Cobblestone streets lead to St. Pierre Cathedral, the Reformation Wall, the Flower Clock and the lakeside promenade. The Jet d’Eau rises dramatically from the water – a symbol of modern Geneva. 

Afternoon
For the afternoon, you have a choice. Embark on a UN tour in Geneva and visit the Palais des Nations – home of the United Nations European headquarters – or explore CERN, the world’s leading particle physics laboratory. Both experiences offer insight into Geneva’s global significance.

Evening
Dinner is reserved at one of Geneva’s refined lakeside restaurants. As the sun lowers behind the Jura mountains, the lake reflects soft gold – a lovely end to your first night in Geneva.

Morning
On day 2, your private driver takes you across the French border toward Chamonix. The journey itself is cinematic, winding through valleys framed by dramatic peaks. Mont Blanc gradually reveals itself – Europe’s highest mountain at 4,808 metres.

Late Morning
Board the Aiguille du Midi cable car, ascending to 3,842 metres. At the summit, panoramic terraces open across the Mont Blanc massif. The glass skybox allows you to stand suspended above the valley floor.

Afternoon
A reserved table awaits in Chamonix village. Mountain views, seasonal cuisine, relaxed alpine atmosphere. There’s time to wander boutique shops or pause for an espresso before returning.

Your private transfer then brings you back to Geneva comfortably and seamlessly. Unlike typical day trips from Geneva, this is fully guided, privately paced, and tailored around your preferences.

Evening
Enjoy a relaxed evening in Geneva before retreating back to the hotel. Perhaps a lakeside stroll or a quiet aperitif overlooking the water?

Morning
Travel east along the lake to Lausanne, home of the International Olympic Committee. Your guide introduces the charming old town and cathedral before descending toward the lakefront at Ouchy. A coffee overlooking the water feels almost Mediterranean, yet unmistakably Swiss.

Midday
Arrive at Château de Chillon, perched directly on Lake Geneva. With your private guide, explore medieval halls, hidden courtyards and lakeside ramparts. The castle’s setting alone feels like stepping into a painting.

Continue on to Montreux for a spot of lakeside dining. Palms line the promenade, vineyards rise behind, and the Alps frame the horizon.

Afternoon
The terraces of Lavaux climb steeply above the lake, cultivated since the 11th century. Here, you’ll experience a private vineyard walk with a local winemaker. Learn about the Chasselas grape, regional terroir, and centuries-old traditions before a guided tasting inside the cellar. This experience defines a true luxury wine tour in Switzerland – intimate, authentic, and deeply Swiss.

Scenic Return
To finalise your private Geneva tour, drive back along the scenic lakeside. It’s a fitting finale to one of our most elegant Swiss private tours. You can stay overnight in Geneva again, or onwards for your departure.
