Between Lake Geneva and Lausanne : Aquatis, the largest aquarium-vivarium hotel in Europe

Lausanne is an ideal destination for a city break between lake and mountains. Just 15 minutes from the heart of the city, Aquatis is a unique concept offering an interactive 3,500 m2 trail to raise visitors’ awareness of the preservation of freshwater species from the 5 continents. A hotel-restaurant next to the aquarium will seduce travellers passing through the canton of Vaud.

An exceptional immersion in the heart of freshwater marine species

Over a 3,500m2 course, visitors explore 46 aquariums, vivariums and terrariums through 20 different ecosystems where 10,000 fish and about 100 reptiles and amphibians from all five continents live.

If the Komodo dragon remains one of the emblematic figures of the aquarium, the Amazonian piranhas and the 100 million year old alligator goat, each time arousing the astonishment of both young and old.
