Arriving
Getting there by train
Only a few minutes walk away from the main Olten SBB station, there's no need to take a bus. Exit the main station at track 12 and follow the signs.
Getting there by car
Olten is located about 15 minutes from Exit 46 (direction Aarburg/Olten) of the A1 Motorway. However, as there is often heavy traffic on this route, the journey to Olten could take significantly longer.
Several fee-based car parks are located on the campus.
Underground Car Park Von Roll (Building 4, has a charging station for electric vehicles)
Underground Car Park Riggenbach (Building 1, has a charging station for electric vehicles)
