Practical information

By car

From Geneva, take the highway to Lausanne. In Lausanne, take highway direction Gd-St-Bernard/Martigny. Take the exit Martigny–Fully and at the first roundabout take the 3rd exit and go in the direction of Centre du Parc. Rue Marconi is the 2nd street on your right and you will see that Idiap is on the lefthand side of the street. There are visitor parking places in front of the building that can be used.

By train

Arriving in Geneva-Airport, the train station is within premises the airport and there are direct train connections to Martigny usually every 30 minutes. The trip will last approx. 1h45. For timetable details, see the Swiss federal railways: http://www.sbb.ch/en

On foot from Martigny train station to Idiap

Idiap/Centre du Parc is accessed very easily from the train station (5-10 mn). From the under rail tunnel just follow the sign Centre du Parc bringing you to the back of the train station (opposite of the city center). Following this sign, you will reach Idiap in a nice easy (out of traffic) walk and you will quickly see the building from a distance.

The rooms are booked in the “Mercure Hotel du Parc” which is co-located with Idiap. It is a 4 star hotel with 90 rooms featuring distinctly contemporary architecture.
