Conference location Lausanne is a city situated in the French-speaking part of Switzerland on the shores of Lac Léman also known as Lake Geneva. This traditional city is located approximately 60 km north-east of Geneva and faces the french Alps while the Jura mountains are to its north-west. The headquarters of the International Olympic Committee as well as the headquarters of the Court of Arbitration for Sport are located here. Also the region surrounding Lausanne is famous in Switzerland for its wine production. For more information, go on the city's official website. Find out more about Lausanne's key features, such as architecture, museums, restaurants, etc. in this brochure. Here is an extract: "The setting of Lausanne is extremely picturesque: it is hardly surprising that the International Olympic Committee has been based here since 1914. The town is built on three hills, surrounded by vineyard-covered slopes, with Lake Geneva at its feet. Rising impressively from the opposing French lakeshore are the Savoy Alps. The attractive old town is largely car-free. Small alleyways with cafes and boutiques shape the streetscape in the medieval city centre. The old town is dominated by the cathedral, which is regarded as Switzerland’s most impressive piece of early Gothic architecture. Lausanne was a diocesan town for over a thousand years. Shopping streets can be found surrounding the cathedral as well as in the pretty waterfront area of Ouchy. Switzerland’s only «metro» connects the various parts of the town and eases travel in this incline-based town." |
