Discover
The Olympic city and our region
In the heart of Europe, Lausanne enjoys a privileged geographical location close to numerous prestigious places to visit, making it an ideal starting point for getaways of a few hours or more. Lavaux vineyards, Chillon or Gruyères castles, thermal centers, Belle Époque boat cruises, or panoramic train rides, hiking in the Alps, are among the various attractions easily accessible from the Olympic Capital.
Lavaux & Chillon Castle
Lavaux
A few kilometers from Lausanne stretch the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007. Sculpted by humans for centuries, this unique landscape overlooks Lake Geneva and offers spectacular views of the Alps.
Walking trails, wine-growing villages, and traditional cellars invite you to discover an exceptional terroir, where history, architecture, and wine culture shape the identity of the region.
Château de Chillon
At the edge of the lake, between Vevey and Montreux, the Château de Chillon stands as one of Switzerland's most iconic landmarks.
This perfectly preserved medieval fortress offers an immersion into history through its vaulted rooms, ramparts, and breathtaking views of Lake Geneva. A must-visit to discover one of the region's heritage jewels.
Bus access to the city
15 minutes by bus from the city center is the Sauvabelin woods, a Sunday walk particularly known for its artificial lake and its banks where deer, goats, woolly pigs, ducks, and wild boars lounge.
Since 2003, a new attraction has been added to this idyllic setting: the Sauvabelin Tower. Built from local solid wood and 35 meters high, it offers those who have climbed its 302 steps a 360° view of the city, the backcountry, the Alps, and the Jura
Walks on Lake Geneva
From the port of Ouchy, just a few minutes from the Carlton, the Compagnie Générale de Navigation (CGN) offers a unique experience on Lake Geneva. It operates the world's largest Belle Époque fleet, consisting of majestic classified steamships, true jewels of Swiss heritage.
These cruises allow you to discover the landscapes of Lake Geneva from a privileged angle: iconic castles like Château de Chillon, terraced vineyards, picturesque ports, and alpine panoramas.
Gourmet lunches, dinner cruises, or a simple panoramic crossing: the CGN offers an elegant and timeless interlude.
Other vessels complement the lake offer, notably the Aquarel electrosolar boats for more intimate outings along the banks.
Train rides
Chocolate Train, Star Train, Lavaux Express, or Lavaux Panoramic... are names that inspire dreams. The first one takes you in a Belle Époque carriage to the Gruyères region, with a stop to visit a chocolate factory and taste some specialties. The second, a cogwheel train, takes you to the Pleiades, while the last two traverse the vineyards of Lavaux.
Other prestigious trains allow you to travel through the most beautiful landscapes of French-speaking Switzerland: the Golden Pass Panoramic, the LEB steam train, the cogwheel train connecting Montreux to Rochers de Naye, and the funicular going up to Mont-Pèlerin.
