Intro

Lausanne is not only the Olympic capital, but also the second-largest city on Lake Geneva. With its harbour district and lakeside promenade, it offers the ideal balance between urban hustle and bustle and relaxation by the lake.

Thanks to its wonderful hillside location, views of Lake Geneva can be enjoyed almost everywhere throughout the city of Lausanne. And thanks to the vertical metro in Lausanne, it takes just a few minutes to reach sights such as the cathedral and lively city life right by the lakeshore.

Ouchy

Experience diversity in the Ouchy district: In the background, luxury hotels and the Olympic Museum, which offers extensive information about the world of sport. In front of this is the harbour district with its Mediterranean promenade.

Ouchy is a popular destination for guests and locals alike. On sunny days along the shore, you can meet people strolling by the lake or riding their bicycles, or people of all ages simply enjoying a picnic in one of Lausanne’s three gardens. From one of the wooden jetties, the refreshing waters of Lake Geneva are just a jump away after a spot of sunbathing. Those who prefer to stay dry can enjoy the magnificent views of the lake from here and end the day with an aperitif while watching the sun go down.
