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.

Tourists are sometimes surprised at its name, but that's because they are unfamiliar with La Ficelle, the little rack railway that linked Ouchy and Flon before the m2 was launched. Since the latter traces the route of its predecessor and the walk passes over the underground lines, it seemed to be a fitting tribute to the old metro.
