Private Transfers to Lausanne with Fast Ride Travel

The slope shapes the city: the lakefront at the bottom, the business streets climbing through the middle, and the old Cité on the hill above them, which is why a short walk here so often turns into a staircase.

Lausanne Cathedral, the Cathedral of Our Lady, is the landmark of that upper town. It is a Gothic building consecrated in 1275, with one tower finished as a belfry and the second never completed, standing among the lanes of the Cité above the rooftops and the water.

Below, Ouchy is the lakefront district: quays and promenades, boat piers, and the Olympic Museum at Quai d'Ouchy, home to the largest Olympic collection in the world and set in its own park.

The city serves several kinds of visit at once: a few days on the lake, business with international organisations, and cultural stays built around museums, the university and a busy concert calendar.

Most guests arrive through Geneva Airport (GVA), at the other end of the lake and the natural air gateway for this region. Fast Ride Travel arranges those transfers to the exact hotel, apartment, residence or business address you give us, so the journey ends at the door rather than at a station or a taxi rank.

Requests from Zurich Airport (ZRH) and from other pickup points are handled the same way. The booking form accepts any supported pickup location and shows what is available, so enter your starting point there or send it to us and we will confirm.

Return transfers work in reverse: a pickup at your Lausanne address at the time you need, planned around your flight or train, early or late.

Individuals, couples, families, business guests and larger groups all use the same service, and three details decide the vehicle and the driving plan: the exact address, the number of passengers and the luggage. Give all three, and mention anything unusual such as a pushchair or reduced mobility, so nothing is settled at the last minute.

The booking form lists the vehicle classes available for your date with the price for each, so you can compare before choosing. Select by passenger count and luggage rather than by model.

The Mercedes V-Class is one of the classes offered and is practical when several passengers travel with full-size suitcases. It is subject to confirmation for your date, as every class is.

A quote covers the journey you have entered; it does not by itself confirm that a particular vehicle is free that day, since vehicles are assigned as bookings are confirmed. Declare bulky luggage, pushchairs or special transport requirements before booking so a suitable vehicle is proposed.

For a hotel, give the name with the street and number; for an apartment or office, the full address. That is what lets the driver plan the approach and stop at the right entrance.

Lausanne railway station has several exits and more than one side, so the meeting point is agreed in advance rather than left to chance. We cannot guarantee access to a particular forecourt or entrance on the day.

The hillside matters here more than in most cities: a building may be reached from different streets at different levels, so one entrance can suit a car while another is reached only by steps. Tell us which one you mean, or say you are unsure and we will agree a practical point.

Some addresses cannot be reached directly: the lanes of the Cité are pedestrian, several streets are restricted, and building work closes others. There we propose a nearby meeting or drop-off point where vehicle access is permitted and confirm it with you beforehand.

The lakefront around Ouchy is the easiest place to start: a walk along the quays, the Olympic Museum and its park, and boat piers for services across the lake.

East of the city, the Lavaux vineyard terraces run about 30 kilometres along the north shore, from the Château de Chillon to the eastern outskirts of Lausanne. They are a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape, with stone-walled terraces stepping down to the water.

Vevey and Montreux lie further along the same shore and are separate destinations with their own routes and prices, so a transfer into Lausanne does not cover them.

These are suggestions for your stay, not part of a booked transfer. Fast Ride Travel does not sell wine tastings, attraction tickets, boat journeys or guided tours, and sightseeing stops are not included by default. For a stop on the way, ask with your enquiry and we will confirm what is possible and how it affects the price.

The vehicle is for your booking alone: you travel with the passengers named on it and no one else is added.

The class follows your passenger count and luggage rather than being fixed for the route, and pickup and drop-off points are agreed in advance wherever vehicle access allows.

Prices come from the actual road route and the class you select and are shown before you confirm, with VAT included and listed separately.

Review the price and included services shown in your quote before confirming your booking. Any requested changes or additional services are confirmed separately.

Questions before booking are answered by email, phone or WhatsApp through the channels on our contact page, including anything that depends on your arrival.
