W E LC O M E Its central location and the extraordinary depth of its hospitality facilities, culture, sport and attractions make Lausanne the destination of everyone’s dreams. Anything is possible here because we are in a position to offer it and, above all, to free organisers from any worries about arrangements, schedules, management and entertainment.

The attraction of the Lake Geneva Region is its geographical diversity: peaceful lake shores, forested hills, green meadows, mountains and a vineyard listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site are facets of its captivating landscape. The city of Lausanne runs a dynamic urban marketing campaign based around four images, four beacons of excellence of international repute: education and research, sport, culture and sustainable development.

Hotels of style and tradition of hospitality Well versed in the art of combining first-class charm, amenities and services, some of Lausanne’s hotels are luxury establisments among the best in the world. From large business hotels to charming little ones, there is a wide spectrum of comfort and gastronomy. Congress and seminar delegates have also been privileged clients for a long time, thanks to the contribution of internationally renowned graduate schools in the fields of science (EPFL), medicine (CHUV) and management (IMD, EHL).

and sporting events. A destination of culture, history and gastronomic seduction: our office organises made-to-measure unforgettable shared experiences!

Olympic Capital The centre of the Lake Geneva Region on the shores of Europe’s largest freshwater lake, Lausanne is also the capital of the canton of Vaud. The headquarters of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) since 1915 and Olympic Capital since 1994, it is home to over 20 international sports federations and the only Olympic museum in the world.

Lausanne innovates constantly, so the suggestions and ideas given in this guide represent only a fraction of the possibilities on offer. Our office will advise you and is able to organise all or part of your project while incorporating the themes of your choice.

Summer and winter recreational and incentive programmes From water sports to mountain activities, from sweet idleness to hyperactivity, every year Lausanne offers its visitors more than 400 cultural

S WITZERLAND C R O SS R OA D O F E U R O P E By its central geographical location, Switzerland is an ideal international destination for business, incentive and leisure travel.

Switzerland is a country with many different facets. It unites an impressive variety of landscapes in a small geographical area and benefits from an exceptional natural heritage. As an important centre for communication and transport between the countries of Northern and Southern Europe, it has a common frontier with Germany, France, Italy, and the Principality of Liechtenstein.

The Alpine Arc, just a few kilometres away from Lausanne, features some of the finest mountain peaks like the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc or the Jungfrau, and spectacular passes: Grimsel, St Gotthard, Simplon and Great St Bernard.

Two rivers have their source here: the Rh么ne and the Rhine.

These natural assets are further enhanced by security and dependability, Swiss values par excellence.

ARRIVING IN LAUSANNE Like Switzerland, Lausanne benefits from regular and direct access from all over the world via two international airports. As distances are very short, visitors can enjoy changing scenery and atmosphere in a matter of minutes at the heart of the European road network (A1/E25 and A9/E27), on one of the most compact railway networks in the world (CFF on the Geneva–Zurich services, TGV and EC direct to Paris and Milan), by air (45 minutes from Geneva-Cointrin International Airport), or even by water thanks to the ships operated by the Compagnie Générale de Navigation on Lake Geneva. Whatever the number of participants, the different means of local transport (bus, metro, taxi) are reliable and efficient, whilst ensuring that transfers are quick and comfortable.

Hotel infrastructures Lausanne offers a wide range of hotels characterised by their diversity and quality, from its 5-star hotels to its youth hostel. Over 5,000 beds are available to suit your preferences.

The University of Lausanne is based by the lake in the magnificent Dorigny park. There you will benefit both from an infrastructure created specifically for seminars and conferences, and from a university campus setting that is utterly exceptional in terms of its beauty, its access to Lake Geneva and its century-old trees.

The different conference rooms at UNIL are spread around its site and provide seating capacity for 20 to 800 people. The biggest auditorium is in the Amphimax building, which can be divided into 2 sec-

30

tions of 300 and 500 places. These dimensions give rise to a revised concept of the notion of an auditorium: efficient audiovisual resources and screens replace blackboards, whilst there is now no need to be facing in the direction of a central speaker. These conditions provide for new layout options: the floor can be horizontal and mobile desks distributed freely in line with requirements. Seminar rooms and a new 400-seater cafeteria round off this programme, which covers a total area of 8,255 m2.

THEMED EVENINGS Leaving a lasting memory in the minds of your guests is a challenge that you will meet effortlessly thanks to the multitude of places steeped in a special atmosphere that you will uncover in Lausanne and throughout the region.

With its rich history, the region offers a wide choice of medieval castles and small manor houses for the organisation of an event, both by day and by night. These unusual places, located in a rural or vineyard setting and, for the most part, listed national heritage sites, confer a special ambiance on your event and leave a stamp of success on it.

The most adventurous people can also choose from unusual hospitality venues offering to combine their themes with gastronomy: art museums, a theatre school, a salt mine, a covered market and a high-altitude restaurant invite you to stage your banquets, seminars and meetings there.

These venues have high-tech infrastructures and may be enhanced by a programme of classical, popular or traditional folk entertainment.

MUSEUMS In Lausanne, the public consumes culture in the same way as others do vitamins. With the help of large public subsidies, the city has gained in the popularity stakes all over Europe and justifiably so: 23 museums feed the voracious appetite for culture in a city of less than 150,000 inhabitants.

Thanks to the initiative of some enlightened people and to the favourable political context in Switzerland during the 20th century, some establishments have become genuine cultural institutions with international influence. These include the Art Brut Collection, for a long time the only one in the world to recognise the status of art in spontaneous works by fringe artists, and The Olympic Museum, a global centre of information on this international sporting movement. These few examples do not, however, eclipse the host of other exhibitions offered in Lausanne and appearing in museums of astonishing quality and diversity: Fine Arts, Applied Arts, Photography, History, Sports and Sciences. With everyone’s interests represented in a single city, all you have to do is allow yourself to be carried away by the universe of the museum of your choosing.
