The 545 km route along the A5, A2 (CH), A1 (CH) takes around 5h 15min, and your FrankfurtRide chauffeur handles everything door-to-door, with the price agreed before you travel.

Lausanne is the seat of the International Olympic Committee and the steepest major city in Switzerland — a metro line climbs the hillside from the Ouchy waterfront to the Gothic cathedral, whose night watchman still calls the hours from the belfry. The Olympic Museum sits in a park above the lake, the Collection de l'Art Brut is one of Europe's most unusual museums, and the UNESCO-listed Lavaux vineyard terraces begin a few minutes east along the shore.
