The simplest solution is to take a taxi. The ride costs about 35.- Swiss Francs.

Alternatively, you can use public transport. A one-way ticket is 3.50 CHF or 3 EUR and has to be bought before entering bus or tram. Please note that the ticket machines only accept coins and do not give back change.

From Cornavin (i.e. Geneva Central Station.

• Take the tram 14 direction Stand and get off at Bel-Air (2 stops / 4 minutes)
• Walk to Bel-Air Cité (see image)
• Take the tram 12 direction Carouge and get off at Carouge (15 minutes)
• Walk up the Chemin de Pinchat for about 7 minutes. The GAP building is on the right-hand side just behind a TPG bus # 41 stop called Fillion.

From the Airport. All the trains leaving from the airport stop at central station, so you could just take one of those and continue using the above description. The standard public transport ticket is sufficient. Alternatively, you can take a more direct but slower connection:

• Take Bus 5 to Bel-Air Cité
• Continue from there by tram 12, as above.

You may book the hotel either directly or ask us. Mention Geneva University, as the following prices include special reductions.
