Escalade to take over Geneva

Event: Escalade
Date: December 11th to 13th

Guests staying at luxury Geneva hotel Hotel d’Angleterre between December 11th and 13th will be just in time to experience an annual event featuring demonstrations, tours, music and re-enactments.

Geneva's Escalade is a spectacle to behold thanks to its unmatched splendour and partying held to commemorate the victory over the Duke of Savoy, who attempted to capture the city in 1602.

Coupled with the 3 Nights For The Price Of 2 package at D'Angleterre, which is aimed at allowing guests to enjoy the luxurious hotel for longer, the event promises to be unforgettable for visitors.

Now widely viewed by locals as a celebration of solidarity, the event will feature a costumed parade, which also presents a great opportunity for visitors to enjoy the city's winding streets.

Not to be missed is the chance to walk through the Passage Monetier, which is a narrow walkway opened only once a year on the Escalade. It leads to the remains of Roman fortifications.

Visitors can also step back in time with a demonstration of period weapons in the Parc des Bastions.
