A great story born over 85 years ago
The Léman training centre has been located in Jongny for over 85 years. In 1923, Bernhard Jäggi, Chairman of the Board of the Association of Swiss Consumer Societies, established the cooperative seminar as a foundation. The purpose he assigned to it at the time went well beyond that of professional training for employees.
His considerations envisaged training and all-round education for people as human beings and individuals in the spirit of Pestalozzi and the “cooperative pioneers of Rochdale”.
Today, as a training centre that belongs to the Coop Group, the Hôtel du Léman et Centre de séminaires has become a privileged venue for the organization of conferences, courses, colloquiums, business meals and banquets.
Its geographic location, services and state-of-the-art infrastructure make it a prime venue for numerous multinational corporations, SMEs, banks, insurance companies, foundations, and consultancies, both from Switzerland and abroad.
