location

The foraines zone is by far the largest district of Lausanne in terms of area. The three quarters are not delimited with borders like all the others, but only roughly divided according to region. Most of the area is settled with forest.

Public transportation

Bus routes 60 and 62 of the Transports publics de la région lausannoise connect a small part of the area with the city.

Buildings and sights

The large area of forest is used for recreation, especially on weekends. Since the Sauvabelin recreational area is more touristic and relatively small, hikers often come here.
