Ouchy–Olympique Station

Ouchy–Olympique is a Lausanne Métro station and the southern terminus of M2 line. It was opened on 27 October 2008 as part of the inaugural section of the line, from Croisettes to Ouchy-Olympique. The adjacent station is Jordils.

In 1877, a funicular between Lausanne and Ouchy was opened, which terminated at Ouchy. In 1959 the funicular was rebuilt as a rack railway. In 2003, the railway was demolished to give way for construction of M2 line. In 2008 the station was reopened at the same location as Ouchy–Olympique.
