Lausanne, the city on a slope
Lausanne climbs 500 m from the station and Ouchy on the lake up to the cathedral and the Flon: central addresses are often pedestrian or one‑way, and your chauffeur knows the access points of the hotels, EPFL and CHUV. Ouchy, Pully and Lutry are covered at the same fare.
