Nestled between the lake and mountains, Evian benefits from a truly exceptional natural environment that has made it an internationally famous tourist resort.

All year round, the town, in addition to its exceptional natural setting, offers a wide variety of activities and lodgings for tourists. The nearby ski resorts make Evian a dream base from which to enjoy the snowy slopes during the winter and the verdant mountain pastures in the summer.

This spa town is internationally renowned for its thermal baths. But culture is also given centre stage in Evian! The town's tourist offer is further complemented by the Palais Lumière, Evian's rich historic heritage and the other quality sites dedicated to art and spectacle.

Evian is located in the north of the Haute-Savoie département, next to Switzerland (the Swiss city of Lausanne is only 13 km away by the lake).

The town (372 to 739 m in altitude) is built right up against the Pre-Alps of Chablais in the form of an amphitheatre on Lake Geneva, Western Europe's largest lake, with a surface area of 582 km². Nestled between the lake and mountains, Evian benefits from a truly exceptional natural environment that has made it an internationally famous tourist resort.

The town cultivates this privileged situation via top-quality landscaping and urban cleanliness, and by protecting the surrounding natural area.

A popular destination for the organization of conferences and meetings, and with its many leisure and cultural activities and spas and cures, Evian continues to affirm its position as a four-season resort town.

World-famous for its pure, natural spring water, Evian has managed to preserve and highlight part of its architectural heritage and offers visitors the image of a warm, dynamic town.
