Lausanne in summer

In Lausanne, the summer season is packed with exciting events! When the sun is at its zenith, everything (or almost) is possible on Lake Geneva. Bathing, nautical sports or basking in the sun, it’s up to you. And as soon as the night falls, the Cité becomes the place of much enjoyed festivities.

A refreshing summer on the shores of Lake Geneva

Whether it’s dedicated to nature or culture, one thing is certain: summer will be wonderful in Lausanne. Stand-up paddle, cruises, bathing or pedal boats… Nautical activities abound and delight freshwater sailors, both young and old(er). And when it’s too hot, why not cool down in one of Lausanne’s 21 museums? As for the 350 hectares of parks and gardens, they’re sure to charm lovers of nature. Do you prefer the Fête de la Musique or the Festival de la Cité, or enjoy both equally? This summer, pick and choose to your heart’s content.
