View of Lake Geneva, distant jet d'eau, from Signal de Bougy 20 October 2010
Wineries, autumn colours, Leman Expat Fair, marathon are Lausanne area highlights
Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – October 2010 has given us chilly hands, so this weekend put on your gloves, don’t forget your umbrella and head outdoors to see the wonderful autumn colour displays.
Expect temperatures up to 13C Friday with sunshine, slightly cooler Saturday with some rain and a high of 9C Sunday, with sun and showers at the eastern end of the lake. In canton Valais, expect temperatures ranging from freezing to 17C during the day at the start of the weekend.
The unstable weather is great for photography, so put your camera in your pocket. If you want to see where it’s been raining in the past half hour, Meteoswiss has a map that shows you.

Parents or anyone with visiting relatives should consider a walk, playground time and lunch at Signal de Bougy (7/7 from 09:00-22:00) near Rolle/Aubonne, where summer crowds are gone, but the view of Lake Geneva is arguably one of the most beautiful in the region.

The restaurant, bakery and shop close after Sunday 7 November, until February 2011. The park, owned and run by Migros, offers families 31 October Halloween festivities and costume parade for children, which are free.
