Yesterday I talked about the slate of trips now being offered by Run the Alps<\/a>. While we’re discussing that part of the world, I want to fill you in on what’s happening this summer in Switzerland from a recent luncheon I had in Boston with old friends from Swiss Tourism<\/a>. The big news is that Fête des Vignerons<\/a> or the Winegrower’s Festival returns to the glorious Lake Geneva seaside town of Vevey from July 26 to August 11, 2019. This event only occurs once every 20 years! Join singers, dancers, wine experts, and loads of other performers for the extravaganza. Elton John, Sting, Quincy Jones, Slash, and Chick Corea are a just a handful of renowned performers appearing at the Montreux Jazz Festiva<\/a>l June 28 to July 13. And from September 20-22, Roger Federer will get to compete in front of the home crowd along with Rafael Nadal, when the Laver Cup<\/a> comes to Geneva. The Swiss know how to have a good time! <\/div>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Join the Festivities this Summer in Switzerland - Active Travels<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Join the Festivities this Summer in Switzerland - Active Travels\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Yesterday I talked about the slate of trips now being offered by Run the Alps.
