Lake Geneva’s incubator
Thanks to its university hospitals, research centres and numerous start-ups specialising in healthcare, the Lake Geneva region is a leader in the field of medical innovation. Because of this unique know-how, it is sometimes referred to as the “Health Valley".
Each issue of In Vivo Magazine, published by CHUV and produced in conjunction with the LargeNetwork agency, starts with a depiction of the region, a map produced by a renowned visual artist, illustrator or graphic designer.

Wonderful example of integrative living with accommodating patients and their families as well as tourists very nicely. Would definitely stay there again.
Absolutely amazing facilities! Very huge-tech, fancy, clean and great view on the lake and cathedral. Very good breakfast with the view as well. Very helpful, accommodating staff. One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at in Europe!
