Image description

From Athens, via Italy, the Olympic flame arrived in Switzerland in July 1948. The handover took place in the border town of Gondo on the Simplon Pass. Via Brig, Lausanne and Geneva, the Olympic symbol is passed on to France on the western border. In the presence of Baron Marie de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, the torch with the Olympic flame arrives in Lausanne, at the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee
