If you were to take a helicopter flight over these nine hectares of green space, located to the south of Lausanne railway station, you might summarily describe it as a vast grassy square (Place de Milan) with a steep mound (Montriond Hill).

It features three sumptuous Lausanne gardens, situated one after the other along the quays: the Denantou, the Elysée, a little further back, and the Olympic Park, but also the rose garden of Place du Général Guisan, which boasts more than 130 different species of rose. Finally, from the CGN landing stages located at the bottom of the Dapples gardens you can embark for a unique cruise over Lake Geneva.

One of my favourite places to train out in the open. I love going there at sunset during a summer evening or early in the morning for a cardio session. It’s always quiet and the view over the lake is unbeatable!

Another gem in the “Sous Gare” neighbourhood. After conquering the hill, you’ll be rewarded by a magnificent view that opens onto the lake. The benches in the shade of the trees will welcome you for a short relaxing break. Several paths lead back down to other interesting places such as Milan Park.
