Guided tour – The Pirates’ Hill

On the heights of Cologny, there’s no shortage of kleptocrats and oligarchs enjoying the view over the Rade. Embark on an offbeat guided tour, just a stone's throw from international Geneva, the world’s human rights capital.

Cologny, a peaceful commune perched on the balcony overlooking Geneva’s harbour, is a favoured retreat for kleptocrats, despots, and other financial pirates. Thanks to unbeatable tax breaks, ever-present security cameras, and comprehensive protection services, Cologny attracts a selective clientele. Here, international elites feel at home: diplomats, industry tycoons, art collectors… and a few less reputable figures. Over the course of an hour, our guide Sarkis Ohanessian will lead you on a quirky walking tour. Come and discover this oasis of serenity, where well-stocked bank accounts and discreet scandals mingle amid the flowerbeds.
