Ouchy Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château d'Ouchy is an old castle located on the shores of Lake Geneva. It was built in the 12th century and was used as a fortress and a stately residence. Today, it houses a luxury hotel with elegant rooms that offer stunning views of the lake and the Swiss Alps. Visitors can also enjoy the peaceful gardens and terrace, as well as the restaurant which offers fine cuisine.

Ouverture au Monde, Port Lausanne-Ouchy
Angel Duarte - Opening up to the world
Fascinated by mathematics, Duarte created works with strict geometry. But contrary to what one would expect from art and science, his creations are lively and poetic. Located at the entrance to the port of Ouchy, "Ouverture au monde" welcomes sailors and travelers. Its structure, glittering under the rays of the sun, seems to come to life as it reflects the reflections of light on the waters of Lake Geneva.

Beautiful promenade along the water. There is even a kind of beach here. The view of the lake is great, even with a dog to go well.

Port of Ouchy, Lausanne

Highlight • Settlement

The Quai des Savoyards in Lausanne is a beautiful promenade along Lake Geneva. It is a picturesque place where you can walk, relax and enjoy the view of the lake and the Alps. The promenade connects the old port area with the Tour Haldimand, a historic tower that once stood on an island, similar to the Château d'Ouchy from the 12th century. Along the Quai des Savoyards you will also find several large parks, including the Parc du Denantou, with lush lawns and centuries-old trees.
