Getting to and Around the Festival
Embedded Files
The festival grounds are in central Switzerland, in the Kanton of Uri. It is quite easy to get to by public transport from Switzerland, but also possible from the Italian side. It is just 1 h 45 by train from Zurich (two hours driving), and about 3h by train from Milan, Italy (two hours driving). The town of Göschenen is at the mouth of the Gotthard Pass tunnel, and about a 20-minute drive from the Festival grounds.

On the Festival Whatsapp Community, we have a dedicated group to help organise car sharing and shared travel by public transport/bike (a new handy term for this is "ecopointing" - like the redpoint but arriving by sustainable means).

Public Transport to Göschenen
Swiss public transport is very efficient. It might be useful to download the official public transport app: SBB Mobile.
From the Swiss side, the quickest train is 1h45 direct from Zürich, which you can book through the SBB app or website.
From the Italian side, a train is available from Milan, which takes 3 hours, and can be booked through Trenitalia. You will probably connect through Switzerland.

There are local taxi options through the local app Mybuxi. My buxi.ch
