Lausanne|At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, by the shore of Lake Geneva

|At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, by the shore of Lake Geneva. Lausanne is the capital of the canton of Vaud in Switzerland, the headquarters of the Olympic Committee, and the city of ballet. The city is quite small, with the main urban area built on the hillside. Coming out of the train station, you can walk up the hill, or take the metro for two stops to reach Riponne M. Bejart, right in the city center. In the heart of the city is the Gothic Lausanne Cathedral, built in the 12th century, with the town hall and a viewing platform nearby. When I visited, it was the eve of Christmas, so a Ferris wheel🎡 was temporarily set up in the square, offering a beautiful overview of the city. There are many small shops behind the cathedral where you can casually eat. The cost of living in Switzerland is quite high, and this area is French-speaking. If you want to go to the lakeside, take the metro to Ouchy, where you can stroll and relax in the Olympic Park, and the wind by the lake is very strong, so be mindful of keeping warm in winter. If you have ample time, you can visit the University of Lausanne and the Lausanne Federal Institute of Technology, or take a train to the Cully vineyards.
