On the hills above Lausanne, Sauvabelin Park is a popular destination with families and nature lovers. Anyone who scales the 302 steps up to the platform of the Tower of Sauvabelin will be rewarded with stunning panoramic views.

Still part of the city, yet already in the countryside. Sauvabelin Park is a popular place for young and old alike to escape the hectic pace of life.

The artificial lake is surrounded by oak forests, and the animal park makes the already charming landscape even more appealing. Goats, woolly pigs, ducks, wild boar and various birds can be observed, either roaming free or in enclosures.

A boat trip on the idyllic lake and the views from the 35-metre-high Tower of Sauvabelin are not to be missed. A real gastronomic highlight is the “La Pinte du Lac” inn with a terrace right by the lake.
