Workshop Location
Getting to Biel/Bienne
Biel is the gate to the french speaking part of Switzerland, located in the western part of Switzerland. It is well connected to the railway system in Switzerland and easy to reach from about everywhere.
By train:
There are night trains to Basel, called CityNightLine, this is mainly interesting if you want to get to Biel from Germany, Holland or Austria (it works from Denmark as well some days). You reach Biel within one hour from Basel by train.
For other train connections consult your local train office, if you have to travel to Biel from an airport check the homepage of SBB, the railway company in Switzerland. For Geneva and Zurich you have to add Airport in the search field. For Basel and Bern Belp you need to take the local airport bus anyway.
By plane:
There is no bigger airport very close to Biel but in Switzerland almost everything is close anyway. So you can choose one of those airports if you want to get to Biel:
- Zurich (ZRH) - The biggest airport in Switzerland, quite good connections to Biel (every 30 minutes). Takes about 1.5 hours by train.
- Geneva (GVA) - good for Easyjet. There is just one train per hour to Biel, around 1.5 hours by train.
- Basel (BSL) - also good for Easyjet. There are bus connections to Basel and from there it's one hour by train.
- Berne Belp (BRN) - this is a small local airport, close to Bern but you still need to get to Biel and that's probably not much faster than Zurich because the Bus connections from this airport to Bern are not that great. From Bern it will take 30 minutes to Biel.
