Ouchy & district below the station

A marathon of emotions. Would you like to relive great Olympic moments? Feel the pulse of the champions? Discover the creative flair of the host cities? The world of the Games with its many facets will open up to you for a full and unique experience.

Photo Elysée is one of the biggest museums in Switzerland and the world dedicated entirely to the discipline of photography.

From Ouchy the quays open out into a vast public park with extensive grassed areas and age old trees.

Formed by an ancient glacial moraine, this hill offers a unique panoramic vista over Lake Geneva, the mountains and the city.

Owing to the quite distinct topography of the city, Lausanne’s first station was constructed outside its walls in 1856, amidst the vines (which back then spread out from Place Saint-François to Ouchy)!

Built in 1901, the lakeside walk links the old port (1793) and the Haldimand Tower (1823), previously located on an island - an oddity it shared with the Château d’Ouchy (12th century).
