By bicycle from Lausanne to Prilly

Starting out from lively Lausanne, this short cycling route whisks you northwest towards Prilly. You’ll kick things off near the city center’s iconic hilltops, so be ready for a bit of initial climbing—about 116 meters up—but nothing too dramatic. Lausanne is known for its beautiful lake views and steep streets, so consider this gentle ascent part of the local experience!

The majority of the ride follows quiet roads (over 70%), with well-paved surfaces almost the whole way. You might catch glimpses of locals going about their day, especially as you pass through some residential living streets and the occasional access road. There’s only the briefest touch on busier sections, making this route friendly for most riders.

Prilly is just a stone’s throw from Lausanne, but it’s a separate little community with its own charm—think peaceful parks and relaxed, suburban vibes. All in all, this is a breezy 5.5 km spin, perfect if you’re looking for a laid-back urban pedal without too much hustle and bustle. Enjoy the ride!
