Access to Lausanne
Lausanne, close to you! The smallest of Switzerland’s four main cities is easily accessible: by road (A1/E25 and A9/E27 motorways), by rail (CFF network, EC Direct and TGV from Paris and Milan), by air (60 km from Geneva International Airport, in 45 minutes by car or by train) and even by water, thanks to the boats operated by the Compagnie Générale de Navigation on Lake Geneva.
Lausanne is thus close to numerous popular tourist destinations, including Montreux and the Château de Chillon, Zermatt and the Matterhorn, the Jungfrau, Lucerne, the historic city of Gruyères, the Glacier des Diablerets and the Vaudois Alps, and the large French resort of Chamonix.
