Cossonay

LOOPED STAGE : Cossonay

The small town of Cossonay – whose origins go back to the Middle Ages – was once the capital of the district and is now an important regional centre, which is continuing to grow and will soon pass the milestone of 5,000 inhabitants. With its great infrastructure, the town offers a large range of economic, sporting, cultural and touristic activities. Located between Lake Geneva and the Vallée de Joux, connected by public transport – including the famous funicular railway – and a road network including the N1 motorway, Cossonay is an attractive place, combining town and countryside. It is a place where life is good.

Tour de Romandie 2025

This year, the Tour de Romandie is celebrating the centenary of Swiss artist Jean Tinguely.

Born in Fribourg in 1925, the sculptor, painter and draughtsman was particularly well known for his innovative art, blending salvaged objects with motors to bring them to life. So the first stage of the Tour, from Basel to Fribourg, will highlight this avant-garde artist.
