ARRIVAL

Arrival by train

Switzerland and St.Gallen are very well connected by public transport. We therefore recommend arriving in St.Gallen by train. The train station in St.Gallen is located in the middle of the city, right next to the accreditation center.

 

Arrival by air

Arrival airport is Zurich. From there the journey continues by train to St.Gallen. Upon leaving the arrival zone, you will be greeted by our volunteers and escorted to the train to St.Gallen. The train ride takes about an hour.
