We recommend traveling by public transport
Lausanne has a central train station on the Geneva-Zurich line, which is very important in western Switzerland. From Lausanne station, opposite the main exit, you can reach Ilmac in about 10 minutes by bus line 21 (5 stops) to the Beaulieu stop. You are now just a few steps away from Ilmac. When you get off the bus, you will see the Hall 36 building in front of you. Keep left and then right. Pay attention to the signs on site.
Arriving by car
Of course you can also arrive by car. Lausanne is a highway junction in French-speaking Switzerland. From the Blécherette exit on the A9, it is only 5 minutes to the Beaulieu Congress Center. Parking is available in the underground garage, but is limited. You can find more information here!
In the west of Switzerland. In the center of Europe. At the heart of the industry: Lausanne.
