Unmissable events in Winter
Der Weihnachtszauber breitet sich in den Strassen Lausannes aus: das Lichterfest Lausanne verwandelt die Stadt in ein Lichtermeer, während der Weihnachtsmarkt unter der Glaskuppel Feinschmecker und Neugierige gleichermassen anzieht. Wer es sportlich mag, bereitet sich auf den Midnight Run vor, während es Liebespaare in eines der Sternerestaurants der Stadt zu einem romantischen Diner zieht.
