Sports and Leisure Lausanne

Budget & Tips

There are a number of good spots to run in Lausanne or do other sports activities. Good running or cycling tracks can be found along Lake Geneva, from Ouchy and towards Pully or in the other direction, towards the EPFL campus. There is also a nautical base near the school. At the town's tennis club, it is possible to rent tennis or paddle courts even without being a member.

What's very local

The stand-up paddle on the lake, don't leave without doing that! Or hiking in the wilderness.

Your documents please

The French licence is accepted everywhere. So there is no need to bring an international licence if you plan to rent a motorhome.

Main events

The Lausanne Marathon takes place every year at least in October. Various other trails, day and night, take place in the surrounding area as the region is ideal for runs in the middle of forests and hills.
