The choice of the itinerary is important
Access to CERN
- Two additional access points for cyclists exist on the CERN Prevessin site:
– a turnstile entrance at the Route de Maroc
– a turnstile entrance at the Chemin du Moulin des Ponts - Access to CERN Meyrin via gate C and A is possible for pedestrians and cyclists thanks to a turnstile.
- All turnstile entrances are open every day, 24 hours a day.
Consult the SCE web site for more details. - To move between the CERN Meyrin and Prevessin sites, take the cycle path on the Route de l’Europe.
- Safe commuting between the CERN hostel at St. Genis and the CERN Prevessin site is possible using the more quiet back roads.
Cycling to CERN
Cycling on busy roads is often no fun. It’s usually better and safer to take calmer streets with fewer and slower cars, or to select roads with cycle lines.
- The Ville de Genève has edited a good bike map which is still available on their web site together with useful information for cycling in Geneva.
- For the Pays de Gex, the Association des Piétons et Cyclistes du Pays de Gex has drawn a map with roads equipped with cycle lanes.
A recommended itinerary between Ferney Voltaire and Meyrin might be interesting for some of you! - Furthermore, Google maps offers the possibility to get directions for cyclists as well. Mind that this is a beta version which needs still improvement.
