getting there
The A 5 motorway also functions as a bypass. The town is located between the Yverdon Ouest and Grandson exits. As the A 5 along the lakes of Neuchâtel and Biel has not yet been completed, we recommend arriving via Bern via the A 1.
Only a few regional trains stop at Grandson station (no hourly service!). The connection to the public transport network is dependent on the bus routes Yverdon-les-Bains ensured. The bus routes to Gorgier, to Novalles and after Mauborget, serve several stops in the municipality.
There is also a boat landing stage, which is approached by the Kurschiffen on Lake Neuchâtel in the summer.
