Since 1904, every 31 December at midnight, Lausanne Cathedral has been illuminated thanks to the “Amis de la Cité”. Every year, this tradition brings the people of Lausanne together on the Cathedral Esplanade to celebrate the arrival of the New Year in a spirit of joy, togetherness and hope.

In 2026, this light display will take on a special significance, as it will also serve as a moment of remembrance for the victims of the Crans-Montana tragedy, as well as a gesture of solidarity with their loved ones. There will therefore be several new features to discover.
