Getting to Lausanne

Switzerland has two international airports:

Zurich (http://www.zurich-airport.com)
Flights from and to Zurich airport : destination.pdf
Most intercontinental flights arrive in Zurich. The airport has its own train station (airport train station, see airport map). It takes about 2.5 hrs to get to Lausanne.
Geneva (http://www.gva.ch/)
Flights from and to Geneva airport : http://www.gva.ch/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-174/
Geneva has fewer intercontinental flights but has excellent European connections. The airport also has its own train station (see airport map). It takes about 45 mins to get to Lausanne.

Note!

It is much faster to travel between Zurich / Geneva and Lausanne by train than taking domestic flight between the two airports. Nevertheless, if you are not flying directly into Zurich, please check the possibilities of flying into Geneva instead.
