Ouchy and its lakeside promenade, Lausanne
On the lakeside promenade in Ouchy, life feels wonderfully light-footed. The expanse of the lake, the spaciousness of the boulevards, the calming green of the parks and the majestic aura of the stately buildings. Just a short ride down from the train station on the vertical metro - and you are right in the middle of this splendor.

The Quai des Savoyards in Lausanne is a beautiful promenade along Lake Geneva. It is a picturesque place where you can walk, relax and enjoy the view of the lake and the Alps. The promenade connects the old port area with the Tour Haldimand, a historic tower that once stood on an island, similar to the Château d'Ouchy from the 12th century. Along the Quai des Savoyards you will also find several large parks, including the Parc du Denantou, with lush lawns and centuries-old trees.

The Jetée de la Compagnie is a temporary terrace on the shores of Lake Geneva in Lausanne-Ouchy. This scenic deck is a great place to sunbathe after a dip in the lake. In the evening, the smell of grilled food, cocktails and the beautiful view of the sunset create a relaxing atmosphere. The Jetée de la Compagnie also organizes yoga classes and concerts throughout the summer season.
