The best area to stay in Epalinges is the central part of the commune, particularly around the Route de la Corniche and Chemin des Croisettes.


This area offers a good balance of local amenities and convenient access to Lausanne. You'll find the main shops, a few restaurants, and public transport links concentrated here, making it easy to get around. It's a pleasant, residential part of Epalinges, known for its green spaces and views of the surrounding countryside.


For business travellers, staying near the Croisettes metro station is particularly advantageous. This provides direct metro access to the heart of Lausanne city centre and the university district, making daily commutes straightforward and efficient. You can easily reach your meetings or conferences without needing a car.


Couples looking for a peaceful base with good access to both nature and city life will appreciate the areas slightly further up the hill from the immediate centre.

The best time to go to Epalinges is during the late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.


During late spring, the landscape around Epalinges is lush and green, and the temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 15°C to 22°C. This period is ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling in the nearby Jorat forest, or exploring the Lavaux vineyards, which are particularly beautiful with their fresh foliage. You'll find fewer tourists compared to the peak summer months, making for a more relaxed visit to local attractions and restaurants.


Early autumn also offers agreeable weather, with temperatures usually between 10°C and 18°C. The changing colours of the leaves in the surrounding countryside provide a stunning backdrop for walks and scenic drives. This is also harvest season in the Lavaux vineyards, offering unique opportunities to experience local wine festivals and tastings.
