In the Sauvabelin Forest at the city’s loftiest point is a viewing tower constructed only from wood.
This was raised in 2003 and is unusual for its double helix staircase; one set guiding you to the observation platform and another to take you down again.
It is 151 steps to the top and once you’re there you can bask in dreamy views Lake Geneva, the Alps, The Vaud Alps, French Alps and Lausanne’s cityscape.
