At the request of the Thai embassy in Switzerland, the Swiss Geomorphological Society, via its president Christophe Lambiel, had the honor of welcoming the Princess of Thailand for a geomorphological visit on 18 February 2025. The Princess, sister of the King of Thailand, has been a close friend of Switzerland since childhood, which is why she came to Switzerland for a short visit in mid-February. A keen geomorphologist, she wanted to take a geomorphological tour of a site in Switzerland. Given the time of year and various logistical constraints, the proposal was made to organise a visit to the Lavaux vineyards on the shores of Lake Geneva, a living cultural landscape that has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 2007.
