CYCLE WEEK Lausanne is the French-speaking Swiss edition of the national bicycle festival. Its first edition is announced for 11–13 June 2027, with an expo and bike test rides forming part of a three-day main event.

Expo and festival programme

CYCLE WEEK announces an expo and bike test rides at both of its 2027 locations, including Lausanne. Shows and contests are also planned during the main event, giving visitors a choice of activities alongside the exhibition.

The organizer describes the wider festival as a meeting place for everyday cycling, leisure, tourism, sport and cycling culture. Its Lausanne announcement also mentions workshops and joint rides as part of the festival concept.

Where it takes place

The organizer identifies Ouchy, directly beside the lake in Lausanne, as the site for the new edition. The move extends CYCLE WEEK into French-speaking Switzerland; the organizer says it intends to hold editions annually in both Lausanne and Zurich.
