Lausanne

Set along the shores of Lake Geneva and framed by the Alps, Lausanne blends old-world charm with modern global influence. Home to the Olympic Museum and several international organizations, it gives students insight into global cooperation, sports history, and diplomacy. The city’s historic Old Town, Gothic cathedral, and lakeside promenades create a rich environment for cultural and historical exploration. Nearby vineyards in Lavaux, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offer lessons in geography and sustainable agriculture. Lausanne encourages curiosity through its unique combination of international culture, natural beauty, and academic vibrancy.
