Hi PRESTO,
Please do not all-caps at us; it's considered rude. It is also harder to read --
Anyway, here are my favorite things to do while based in Montreux, at the other end of the lake. But you can easily get to any of them from Geneva --

Take the train out to Vevey and Montreux. It's only about 1 hour, very easy from Geneva. These are two beautiful towns right on Lac Leman.
Go to Vevey on a Saturday early morning if possible, and you can attend the local farmers market. It's lovely. There's also a market in Vevey on Tuesday, and in Montreux on Friday mornings.
Chateau de Chillon outside Montreux is a "must do" I think. As is strolling along the quai, the lakeside promonade in both towns along the lake.
