1 S SWITZERLAND CROSSROAD OF EUROPE

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 com- mon 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 Rhône and the Rhine.

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

A 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. What- ever 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.

10 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 city’s luxury hotels are regarded as among the best in the world and promote a sense of well- being thanks to their exceptional spas, as well as large hotel chains and small hotels full of charm, budget hotels and hostels in the country… The range is wide and varied because Lausanne benefits from a historic tradition of hospitality. In order to facilitate trips for business purposes, most of the hotels have conference rooms and specially equipped rooms for hosting business clients.

In the past few years, Lausanne’s hotel- iers have invested enormously in renovation in order to offer ideal conditions to their guests. The hotel sector of the whole region is also moving forward: new establishments such as the StarlingHotel at EPFL by the lake are springing up as part of current large urban development projects of the Vaudois capital.

35 TTHEMED 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.

57 MMUSEUMS 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 influ- ence. 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, Pho- tography, History, Sports and Sciences. With everyone’s interests repre- sented 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.

Lausanne exerts a special appeal owing to its absolutely exceptional cultural depth: a very fine opera, a host of theatres, including the Théâtre de Vidy- Lausanne, European Theatre Space, high-quality music and, of course, dance, most notably with the Béjart Ballet Lausanne, which is based in the city. But Lausanne also has avant-garde scenes, jazz cellars and an awesome number of festivals, with every single taste catered for! From June to September, Lausanne is in full swing: under the banner of “Lausanne Estivale”, over 400 shows and recreational activities – theatre, dance, walks, storytelling and every kind of music – are a regular feature of urban life for the people of Lausanne! An extravaganza of cultural events, fun and entertainment for visitors of all ages and from all backgrounds, most of them free of charge. At the beginning of July, Lausanne hosts a multicultural event that is unique in Europe: the Festival de la Cité. In the old town and around the cathedral, some 200 free open-air attractions are given in eight days: theatre performances, dance, concerts, cabaret, comedy, street arts, literature... The town is again enlivened by the open-air cinema with 1,800 places by the lakeside beneath the stars, the Swiss Film Archives, the open-air cafés, fairground rides, terraces... and numerous festivals with ambitious line-ups that attract large groups from abroad to Lausanne or the surrounding area. Classical music is not left out, thanks in particular to the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, which enjoys international renown and can also be hired for opening and closing ceremonies at Beaulieu Lausanne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Outstanding professional musicians, including violinists and string trios or quartets, can play elegant harmonies to mark a special ceremony.

Event lovers and culture vultures, come to Lausanne, you will feel like staying here!
