The canton of Geneva is located in southwestern Switzerland and is considered one of the country's most
cosmopolitan regions. Center of the Calvinist reform, the city of Geneva has had a major influence on the
canton, which is composed of the city and its suburbs.
A place for sport and “joie de vivre,” the canton of Geneva hosts popular sporting events throughout the
year. With the presence of the European headquarters of the United Nations, numerous international
participants come from all over the world, elevating sports standards. Ideally situated between an urban
center and a protected countryside, Geneva lends itself perfectly to outdoor sports.
