The Alps are a region of outstanding natural beauty and easily accessible by autoroute from Calais.

Close to the border with Switzerland, the picturesque resort of Châtel enjoys dramatic mountain scenery, a crystal clear lake and is a delightful mountain village with superb sports and leisure facilities - altogether an ideal base for your concert tour.

Geneva and the surrounding area provide many opportunities for orchestras and sacred choirs. From bandstands on the lakeside in Geneva, to the quayside of the Musical Fountain in Evian-les-Bains, to the new concert hall in Morgins. The summer festivals in Evian, Montreux and other larger towns also offer opportunities to play to large audiences where our groups are always warmly received. Many of the Haute Savoie towns also have bandstands which are popular with tourists and provide excellent venues for STS concert groups.

All of our arrangements are flexible and STS are happy to quote you for any variations you may choose.
