ACCESS TO CERN (Meyrin site)

We have created special badges that will be available from April 11 at the CERN reception, Building 33, (close to the main entrance B). Please note that badges are mandatory to enter CERN and the Transition Meeting itself (held in building 31).

Here are some directions on how to get to CERN. You are most likely to get here by car, train or aeroplane. The best way to proceed from there is detailed below.

An interactive map of Geneva can help you find your way.

Travelling by aeroplane
Coming from the Geneva International Airport at Cointrin:

Taxi - (rather expensive, approximately 25CHF). Recommended for heavy luggage!

Bus - take the bus number 10 from outside the airport exit to Bouchet (alternatively the bus number 28 and exit to Blandonnet). From Bouchet (or Blandonnet) take the bus number 9 marked "9 CERN" to its terminus at the CERN entrance (be careful not to confuse it with the bus number "9-Zimeysa"). The ticket costs 3 CHF or 2 euros ("Tout Genève" button on the ticket machine). See Transports Publics Genevois web site for full details.

Travelling by Train
From the Geneva railway station at Cornavin:

Bus - Take the number 9 bus marked "9 CERN" to its terminus at the CERN entrance (be careful not to confuse it with the bus number "9-Zimeysa"). The ticket costs 3 CHF or 2 euros ("Tout Genève" button on the ticket machine). See Transports Publics Genevois web site for full details.

Travelling by Car

Coming from the Swiss side:
Follow "Aeroport", "Lyon" or "Meyrin". When in Meyrin head for "St. Genis" (which is just across the border in France.) CERN is on the left hand side of the "route de Meyrin", just before the border crossing.

Coming from the French side:
Follow "Gex" or "St. Genis". When in St. Genis head for the border. CERN is on your right hand side immediately after the border crossing.

Here you will find a detailed map of the buildings in the various CERN Sites.
