The gateway to the Lavaux vineyards, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Lutry combines an old medieval town with lakeside living, just a short distance east of Lausanne. Cobbled lanes, wine-growers’ houses and a marina make up a highly sought-after setting, between the water and the vine-covered slopes that climb gently behind the old town.
A lakeside town at the gates of Lausanne
Lutry’s mainline station, on the Lausanne–Simplon line, puts central Lausanne about ten minutes away, while keeping the scale and calm of a small lakeside town. Local shops, a market, wine-tasting cellars and restaurants animate the historic centre, while the marina and landscaped shoreline make Lutry a popular destination all year round, for residents and visitors alike, particularly at grape-harvest time in autumn.
Housing shaped by the view of the lake
Lutry’s property stock ranges from townhouses in the old town to residential apartment blocks and villas in the neighbourhoods further up, towards the Lavaux vineyards. The view over the lake and the Alps remains the most decisive factor in a property’s value, which explains steady demand despite a supply that stays limited by the slope’s steep topography. Price benchmarks for this part of Lavaux are gathered on our price-per-square-metre page, updated with each edition.
LCR Immo, based in Nyon, operates across French-speaking Switzerland and the neighbouring French border area: we follow the Lutry market with the same rigour as our areas of La Côte, from valuation through to the signing of the deed, for renting as for selling.
