Calling Home: Rebecca Wardell in Lausanne, Switzerland

From Sunday Morning, 8:30 am on 30 October 2022

On Calling Home, we head to the city of Lausanne on Lake Geneva, it's been voted the best small city in the world, in the French-speaking area of Switzerland known as Vaud.

It’s home to athlete and former Olympian, Rebecca Wardell. She now works at the International Olympic Committee headquarters.

Lausanne also boasts the Olympic Museum and the Olympic Park on the lake shore. Away from the lake, the city rises in terraces, with plenty of shopping in mediaeval precincts, and there's an impressive 12th century cathedral in the gothic style.
