Walks

The ViaJacobi leads from the Bodensee to Genève as part of the European Jakobsweg (Route of St. James). Lined by churches, monasteries and chapels, it offers a fabulous hiking experience along historic paths through a diverse cultural landscape.

To get to the start of the walk:
Take the metro m2 at the station towards "Epalinges-Croisettes" and alight at the "Lausanne-Flon" stop. Stepping from the metro, turn right, go out of the station, and continue to the first pedestrian crossing. Take the elevator to reach a footbridge.

Set on a hillside facing Lake Geneva and the mountains, Lausanne offers walkers a series of extensive panoramic views. This downhill stroll allows you to discover the 10 most beautiful viewing points, offering so many different perspectives from which to appreciate the city and its surroundings.

Take a walk from Sauvabelin to the Cité.

Water excavated the lake, sculpted the hills on which the city stands, and decided - between the lakeshore and the hills - where human activity would be concentrated.

The walk takes you from Grandvaux to Cully and lasts about two hours and a half. You’ll enjoy a stunning panorama over the vineyards and the lake.

Departing from Grandvaux, this approximately two-hour walk takes you through the Lavaux vineyard before reaching Lutry.

This trail zigzags across the prestigious Lavaux terraced vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Created through wine-related activities over the years, this land-scape and its typical villages are of universal beauty.

Established 2000 years ago, in medieval times the ViaFrancigena became the most important pilgrims’ path in Europe. In Switzerland it leads through beautiful Jura and Alpine landscapes, the stage on the Grossen St. Bernhard being particularly magnificent.

For eight millennia, the site of Lausannes original settlement has been wedged between lakeshore and the “Cité”. The medieval city developed around the Cité promontory sculpted by the Flon and Louve rivers.

Until 1850, almost all of Lausanne stood within the medieval wall.
