Wondering what's going on in and around Lausanne? Check out our picks for this week:
- Running & Women’s Health Evening — Tuesday. An intimate evening dedicated to women’s running at MotionLab in Lausanne, bringing together a sports gynecologist and a sports physiotherapist to explore how to train smarter, prevent injuries, and better understand the female body in sport. The session is designed for active runners who want evidence-based insights in a small, engaged setting (limited to 30 participants), followed by a Q&A and an apéro to close the evening. A focused, community-driven moment at the intersection of women’s health, performance, and sport science.
- An out-of-the-box social gathering on Wednesday. F*ck The Small Talk and Epic Lama host a one-of-a-kind social experience where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also just a different and cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
