Barrier-free stay

The inner courtyard is accessible from the dining room or from the lobby.

Barrier-free accommodation

The rooms are spacious and a large number of them are also ideal for wheelchair users.

At the main entrance there is a low threshold (1 – 3 cm) and at the exit to the inner courtyard there is a 10 cm threshold.

The rooms are generously proportioned. The lobby, day room, dining room, games room and luggage room are easily accessible (no thresholds). The conference rooms are located on the 1st floor and regrettably not accessible because the building does not have a lift.

The width of the doors to the rooms is 80 cm.

Barrier-free bathroom

There are two barrier-free bathrooms on the ground floor.

The bathroom dimensions are:

• Width of bathroom door: 81 cm
• WC seat height: 47 cm
• The washbasin is wheelchair accessible: 70 cm
• Shower seat
• Shower handle

Barrier-free access

By train / by foot

From the main station by underground (M2) towards Ouchy-Olympique as far as Délices, then continue by bus No. 25 towards Bourdonette, "Bois de Vaux" stop, then 2 mins. to the youth hostel.

From the "Lausanne Süd" motorway exit enter the "Maladière" roundabout. From here continue on the cantonal road towards Geneva and turn off left after 300 m. The youth hostel has two chargeable, wheelchair-accessible car parking spaces. They are located 50 metres from the main entrance. Please ensure you make an advance reservation.
