What to do in Lausanne in February?

During this month of February, we get active and make the most of the seasonal activities by pulling on our ice skates or putting on our skis to glide gracefully towards winter sports. To get toasty and ready to brave the cold, we also take refuge indoors for an enjoyable cultural moment watching a unique show or exhibition.
