  Directions to the Château d'Hauteville

These directions will guide you from the Geneva International Airport (GVA) to the Hauteville Campus.

We strongly recommend that you download the "SBB Mobile" app on your phone in advance (App Store or Google Play) so you can be aware of the train schedule.

  1. After exiting the baggage claim doors, turn left and continue down the hallway and exit the airport through the glass doors on your right.
  2. At the red SBB ticket kiosk, buy a direct, one-way ticket to "Château d'Hauteville" for the appropriate number of adults (and children) in your group. These machines can be navigated in English, and most accept credit cards.
  3. Continue toward the main departure board to check which platform your train is on. Look for "Vevey" as one of the destinations and advance to the correct platform and board the train. Enjoy your first views of Switzerland. The train takes just over an hour. Be sure to watch the digital display to know when the train will stop at Vevey.
  4. When you arrive at the Vevey station, switch trains by walking under the train tracks via the tunnel, and walk toward Platform 7.
  5. On Platform 7, get on the blue and white MOB train. Watch the digital display and listen to the automated announcement for the "Château d'Hauteville" stop. When you see the stop announced in the digital display, press the green button to alert the conductor that you would like to stop (if not, the train will proceed past the Chateau d'Hauteville without stopping!).
  6. When the train stops, exit on the right-hand side of the train. Proceed down a large concrete ramp that connects the train stop to the street below. The front gates and driveway for Pepperdine's campus at the Château d'Hauteville will be directly in front of you.
  7. If you do not have an access card, please use the access panel by the gate on the left to call the front office and request that the gate be opened. Welcome!
