Surrounded by forest, the 35-metre-high tower offers visitors an unparalleled vantage point to admire the stunning scenery surrounding Lausanne. As you climb the 302 steps to the top, you'll be rewarded with stunning views of the city, sparkling Lake Geneva and the majestic mountains of Switzerland's two mountain ranges - the Alps and the Jura.

In order to get to this tower which was built in 2003 you can catch m2 from the main station all the way to the Sallez station. From there you walk about 15 minutes (signs will show you the way) and you will have reached the tower. It's 35 meters high and on a clear day you may spot not only Lausanne but also Jura, the Alps and the Plateau. Free of charge.

Fun little excursion. I recommend taking the bus unless you are used to tiny Swiss roads. The bus ride is very pleasant. The park is fun especially if you have small children. The walk back to the tower is paves and easy. The spiral stairs of the tower are interesting and the views are good if you get a clear day.

Beautiful wooden tower with great design. A short free climb gives you a stunning view over Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains.

Hike for 20mins+ to reach da Sauvabelin Tower for da splendid view of da city of Lausanne 🗼🗼🗼🏙🏙🏙

Sauvabelin Tower offers a truly breathtaking experience in the heart of Lausanne. From the moment you step foot in the park, you can sense the tranquility and natural beauty that surrounds you. The tower itself is a marvel of architecture, seamlessly blending with its natural surroundings. The wooden structure is a sight to behold and provides an interesting contrast to the modern cityscape of Lausanne. The highlight, of course, is the panoramic view from the top. The climb may be a bit steep, but the effort is well worth it. Once you reach the observation deck, you're rewarded with 360-degree views that will leave you in awe. On a clear day, you can see the sparkling waters of Lake Geneva, the city of Lausanne, and the majestic Alps in the distance. It's a photographer's dream! Whether you're a nature lover, a history buff, or just looking for a peaceful escape from the city, Sauvabelin Tower is a must-visit. Be sure to bring your camera and enjoy the serenity and beauty this hidden gem has to offer.

If you are in Lausanne, you have to climb the around 180 steps up to look at the stunning views over the city and Lac Leman. Everything is for free!

Great views and a nice wide staircase so very worth the trip up the hill.

Panoramic view of the city, a really beautiful park to walk and relax. Do not miss that!

A magnificent tower, and you can see all of Lausanne from the top. It is a bit of a climb, but it is definitely worth it! The best part is that it is completely free, and there is a small cafe nearby with a large duck pond where you can sit and watch the ducks. I cannot recommend this place enough if you a visiting on a budget, it is one of the many things that are free in the area.

A fun discovery in the heart of Lausanne. I love when I find interesting sights in natural settings such as is the case with Sauvabelin Tower. Get UP where you can see :)

Gorgeous view on the lakd of Geneva, Lausanne and Alps. Totally worth to visit

Amazing structure. Impressive view.

A great tower specially this moment unfortunately I couldn't access to see the view

Very nice place with magnificent view. Entry to the tower is controlled by number of visitors for COVID reasons which is great. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately, closed and we couldn‘t climb up.. also, there was no one to help or ask..

Magnificent architecture! Lausanne city under your palm!!!

Best view of the city from an all wood tower in the forest. Be sure you are fit enough for the stairs to get at the top though.

What a spot! And do head over the the Lac aswell - more wildlife in a small Swiss pond than in most British rivers... superbe!

It's not like Eiffel Tower ofcourse but at least you can have a good view of Lausanne for free :)

Beautiful view of the lake and city from the top

Great view from a really unique look-out tower. The neat style and architecture were worth it alone and then the panoramic view was the icing.

Nice wood tower , which give you acess to a beautifull landscape on the top ! Really worth giving a try when the weather is cal and sunny ! You will lot of moutains from far away…

You should visit it if you are in Lausanne. The hiking path there is super nice and easy. The nature is really beautiful and everything is calm. The architecture of the tower is also amazing. Simplicity and the view thats it

Nice to visit, pleasant, quiet park for families. The climb up the tower is free and it's about 150+ steps altogether. You'll get a 360° view of lausanne from the top and it's very nice.

Nice view point in the middle of the forest.. easy to access and park.. small zoo, lake, playground and restaurant.. good spot for family

Amazing view and easy to access.

Very nice view from the top. Situated in a beautiful forest.

A beautiful tower in the middle of a patch of forest, I really like that place and how the tower is built. There's a café just a few minutes away from it. I think the café is closed in the winter though.

It’s worth reaching on top. As u see the entire city.

Very beautiful view from the top.

Great view. Unfortunately it closed ahead of time.

Wonderful view of Lausanne !

Imposing, wooden, towering, and induced some vertigo if you are susceptible. This is an amazing construction of sponsored wooden circular stairs, winding way to the top (all climbing, no elevators). You need to push a button on turnstile to enter and to exit, likely to keep the count of people and their weight manageable (I hope). The path up to the entry is all gravel and rocks so only those who can climb a small hill on rocky path make it. The views of lake, mountains, forest and city are impressive, as long as you can climb several curved stairs and not affected by heights. Unique tower in the world, with aesthetic design just to see from the bottom. Worth a visit as they say

I considered this place amazing, hidden in the forest with amazing woodwork, you will be warded with fantastic views when you reach the top.

The best view in Lausanne. From the town, it’s a long and difficult uphill walk. But 100% unquestionably worth it! Breathtaking views. Make sure you go when the weather is good because the tower is closed in bad weather. Walk up from the town takes about 1hr at a medium pace.

Very cool tower in Park in Lausanne. It’s made entirely of wood and takes a while to get to the top I was huffing and puffing when I reached the top level but the views of Lake Geneva made it worthwhile.

Great 360 views. Got there early (right as it opened), so I was lucky enough to have the tower to myself. The climb up wasn’t too difficult.

Impressive views of Lausanne and the Alps (even Mont Blanc). You can have a nice hike through the park, enjoythe greenery and then climb up the tower.
