IAESTE Lausanne Weekend
July 12-14, 2019

Salut à tous !

IAESTE LC Lausanne has the pleasure to invite you to spend a weekend in the beautiful Romandie (the French speaking part of Switzerland). The breathtaking view of the mountains guarding the shores of the ‘Lac Léman’ and the UNESCO world heritage vineyards covering the hillsides next to Lausanne are definitely a must-see of Switzerland !

As Lausanne is the city of festivals, we will meet on Friday and attend the magnifique Festival de la Cité (http://www.festivalcite.ch/), and allow all of you to utilize your Gleis 7/seven25 on SBB!

VERY IMPORTANT: We will meet at 21:20 sharp (on Friday 12th) in the main hall of Lausanne train station and then check-in at the hostel. This year we have a very cool and comfortable hostel. The bed linen are included.

We will kick off Saturday with one of our favorite activities – wine tasting in the vineyards of Laveux and trek through vineyards with breathtaking view on the Alps, part of UNESCO heritage. In good spirits, we will visit the most representative castle in Switzerland – Château de Chillon. Don’t forget your swimsuit, because afterwards we will go for a swim at a beach right next to the castle!

On Sunday, we will tour the city of Lausanne and view the spectacular cathedral. Lots of water activities will follow at the Yadlo water festival (and if the weather is bad we have a backup plan). We will finish the day with a final activity – the Laser Game! Be well prepared for this challenge – the winner will be rewarded :)
