Arrival via Plane
International visitors to the CSH normally fly into the Zurich (ZRH) or Basel (BSL) airports and take the train to Bern. Certain airlines, such as easyJet, frequently fly into Geneva airport (GVA) instead.
Arrival via Train
Train schedules may be obtained at the SBB website and are precise to the minute. Please enter 'Bern' as your destination. For a longer stay in Switzerland, we recommend downloading the SBB mobile app.
The main train station of Bern is situated directly below the University of Bern. Once you leave the train, you may either go above or underground. A short cut to the University of Bern is to go underground and follow the sign to 'Universität', which will lead you to a series of elevators. Take any elevator to the top floor and you will arrive on the campus of the University of Bern. In the absence of traffic, the journey from the train to the campus, via this route, should take less than 5 minutes.
Arrival on Foot
From the main building of the University of Bern, you can cut across the campus (Grosse Schanze) toward the Einsteinterrasse, where you will see the Exact Sciences (ExWi) building. By either going straight through the ExWi building or passing by between the main building and ExWi, you will arrive at a university cafeteria (Bistro Mitti), behind which you will find the CSH at Gesellschaftsstrasse 6.
