During and Post-conference tours

Guided city tour of Lausanne

Exhaustive tour including the visit of the old city, the beautiful 13th century Gothic Cathedral, the pedestrian area, the city hall dating back to the 16th century, the Supreme Court and Lausanne’s lake side promenade Ouchy. Short visit to the Roman ruins situated at Vidy on the lakeshores.


Walking tour and aperitif in the Lavaux vineyards

Considered as a district for its inhabitants and a region of vineyard for others, the Lavaux is situated between Lausanne and Montreux. Vineyards, countryside, mounts and hills widely characterize this landscape.


Cruise on the Lake Geneva from Lausanne to Chillon

Come and contemplate the magic of the lake, the marvellous landscapes and the unforgettable panorama over the mountains. Let yourself be rocked by the waves and the cries of the gulls.

This impressive castle had a dual function: fortress on the mountain side and princely residence on the lake side. It now invites you to discover its history from the 11th to the 16th century. Carved out of a rocky cliff, this site of exceptional beauty was restored at the end of the 19th century. Its cellars as well as the top of its donjon are open to the public.


Excursion to Zermatt

Discover one of the most beautiful natural paradises. The train will take you from Zermatt to the Gornergrat, 3089 meters high where you will encounter the famous giant, the Cervin (4478 m), Liskamm (4527 m) or la “pointe Dufour” (4634 m). You will also appreciate the culinary dishes at the Gornergrat.


Excursion to Gruyères

Gruyères will seduce you with its medieval charm, artisans, castle, boutiques and splendid hotels and restaurants. Emblematically, Gruyères has lent its name not only to this Alpine countryside, but also to the famous cheese.
