I love taking a stroll through its sloping paths where city life and nature meet, between parks as well as buildings put in place for the Swiss national exposition of 1964.
A “must do” in Lausanne for all skateboard fans or fans of any other way of speeding DOWNHILL! This magnificent park owes its name to Expo 64. It’s always a pleasure to speed down this perfect slope! No less than 1 km of flawless bitumen, asphalt humps and hillocks just waiting for skateboarders, no cars and all this criss-crossing a splendid garden containing 8000 varieties of roses.
As an avid roller skater, the Vallée de la Jeunesse is a magical place for me where I can practise and have fun. With its steep slopes, you’ll see skateboarders and roller skaters tearing down a 1 km long path before arriving on the Vidy plaine. However, the park offers much more than that: it also has a play area for children, tracks with bumps and even the Espace des Inventions, a science museum for children. It’s really a multi-purpose space where everyone will find something to their liking.

Its four highlights: a particularly ingenious play area, a magnificent rose garden, a natural incline borrowed by expert skaters and, to top it off, the Espace des inventions, an interactive science museum for children and a play zone. And to extend your walk, simply follow the path along the plains of Vidy and the shores of the lake.
