Perched on the hills above Lausanne, Savigny has kept the character of a rural village in the Lake Geneva region, set among farmland, forest and a handful of hamlets. From several parts of the village, the view opens onto the lake and the Alps.
A village linked to Lausanne by rail
Savigny is served by the LEB line (Lausanne–Échallens–Bercher), which connects the village to central Lausanne in around twenty minutes. That direct rail link, together with a network of well-kept country roads, lets residents enjoy a rural setting while working in the city. The village school covers the primary grades, with older pupils moving on to secondary schools in the region.
Housing dominated by the family villa
Savigny’s housing stock remains defined by the single-family home: villas with gardens built up over the decades, a few renovated farmhouses, and very few apartment buildings. With little rental stock available, demand stays steady, particularly among families looking for more space than they would find in the city.
Daily life in a Lake Geneva village
With its local shops, village development association and active community life, Savigny has kept its village scale without becoming a mere commuter suburb. Families and retirees alike enjoy walking in the nearby Jorat forest.
