Quick ride by bicycle from Prilly to Lausanne

This short spin takes you from Prilly down to the heart of Lausanne—a perfect little urban ride with some nice variety! You’ll start in Prilly, a quiet suburb known for its parks and local flavor, then cruise mostly on quiet roads and smooth asphalt toward vibrant Lausanne. It’s just under 6 km, so not a crazy distance, but expect some ups and downs—the descent into town is fun, but there’s a bit of climbing to keep things interesting.

Most of your ride is on peaceful streets, with some sections on local access and main roads, but traffic’s pretty mild overall. The scenery gradually shifts from suburban chill to the lively buzz of Lausanne, famous for its beautiful old city, lakeside views, and bustling café culture. You’ll finish close to lake level, having dropped almost 140 meters overall. Great ride for a little city escape!
