Quick ride by bicycle from Lausanne to Prilly

Kick off your ride in the vibrant city of Lausanne, nestled along the shores of Lake Geneva. Lausanne isn't just famous for its stunning waterfront; it's also a hub for the International Olympic Committee, which pretty much makes it the sports capital of the world!

From Lausanne, you're making your way to Prilly, a charming little suburban area that offers a quieter slice of Swiss life. You’re looking at a rather manageable 5.5 km route that winds through the serene Swiss landscape. Along this route, you’ll gain a bit of altitude—a 116-meter ascent, but don't worry, what goes up must come down, with a 78-meter descent waiting for you.

The ride itself is on an easy blend of mostly quiet roads and access ways, making it perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of busy streets. Plus, it's a great chance to soak in the natural beauty without too much pedestrian traffic. Do keep your eyes peeled for those sections where the surface might be a little dicey—about 5% remains a mystery!

Before you know it, you’ll find yourself in Prilly. Maybe take some time to explore the local cafes and enjoy the laid-back vibe. Happy cycling!
