How to get there
Plane: Lausanne is directly connected with the airport of Geneva (approximately a train every 30 minutes, the trip lasts about 50 minutes) and with the airport of Zurich (similar frequency, the trip takes about 2 and a half hours, but there are more international connections).
Car: The EPFL campus is located close to the highway exit “EPFL, St.-Sulpice” on the Swiss highway A1. There is a pay parking on campus.
Train: There are several international train connections to either Lausanne, Geneva, or Zurich, especially from France and Germany. You can check suitable connections on the official SBB website.
