Timeline
19:20
Visit the Olympic Museum and its sculpture garden. The museum is open until 18:00 in April, giving you plenty of time to see the exhibits and the lake views before the light changes.
20:00
Walk to the MGM pub. It has a second-floor deck that offers great views and is a perfect place to relax and enjoy a drink while the sun is still up.
20:20
Return to the Olympic Museum’s sculpture garden to watch the sunset. On 15 April, the sun sets toward the WNW at 20:20, casting golden light over Lac Léman.
20:50
End your evening at the MGM. The pub stays open until 24:00, so you can linger with a drink after the sunset has faded.
Local tip
The MGM deck is a great spot for pre-sunset drinks, but it can get busy. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, consider the lounge at the Chateau d'Ouchy hotel (Le Lounge), which is a 9-minute walk from the museum and open until 02:00 on weekends.
