Olympic Park : info and guided tour

Overview of Olympic Park

Olympic Park in Lausanne is a landscaped green space set on the shores of Lake Geneva, at Quai d’Ouchy. Located in the Ouchy district, it offers a lakeside walk with open views over the water and the city, in an area closely associated with Lausanne’s sporting and cultural identity as the Olympic Capital.

The park was designed to highlight this stretch of the lakeside and complement the nearby Olympic Museum. Its identity is based on a combination of terraces, lawns and pathways that extend the Ouchy promenade. Together, these features create a direct link between the shoreline, the urban setting and the Olympic institutions.

What stands out most is the well-kept landscape, the open views over Lake Geneva and the areas designed for strolling. The site is valued for its peaceful setting, its views of the Alps on clear days and its proximity to the iconic lakeside landmarks of Lausanne, popular with both locals and visitors.

Olympic Park is known as a pleasant stop when discovering Ouchy and getting a feel for Lausanne’s special atmosphere, a city closely tied to the Olympic movement. Its landscaped character, rather than monumental scale, makes it an emblematic place for anyone wanting to combine a walk, urban heritage and lake views.
