To Switzerland and to Bern

Switzerland has three main airports: EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, Zürich airport and Geneva airport. Note that, although Bern has an airport, it services a very limited number of routes and in general is not suitable for traveling to Bern. From Basel, Zürich and Geneva airports direct public transport connections to Bern are available:

• From EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg take bus 50 to Basel central station. From there, trains IC6 and IC61 directly connect to Bern central station. The travel time is about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Zürich airport has its own trainstation, from which trains IC1 and IC8 directly connect to Bern central station. The travel time is about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Geneva airport also has its own trainstation, from which trains IR15 and IC1 directly connect to Bern central station. The travel time is about 2 hours.

Train tickets can be purchased at ticket machines on all stations, but also with a discount online when traveling outside rush hour. See https://www.sbb.ch/en/travelcards-and-tickets/buying-options.html for more information.
