A dream stay in the Vaud region

Nyon is a many-faceted town: authentic, festive, historical, international, modern, and professional. Originally a Roman colony founded by Julius Caesar, it has continued to expand, remaining an important crossroads between Geneva, Lausanne, the Jura, and Lake Geneva. From the beginning of our era to contemporary times, its rich past can be discovered through guided tours along its streets, as well as in the many castles and museums of the region.

Beyond being a town of history, Nyon is also a town of festivals. From musical events – such as the Paléo Festival and Les Hivernales – to the Visions du Réel International Film Festival, its cultural agenda draws crowds every year.

But there is more to Nyon than that. Memorable experiences reward those who take the time to explore its surroundings. Through all seasons, this varied land stretching from the lake to the Jura peaks also offers lovely getaways to fans of cycling, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and sledding. Its terroir – and especially its vineyards – produces mouthwatering delights. Cruises organised by the CGN offer a wonderful opportunity to admire the shore from the lake.
