How to find us

To Allschwil

Approaching Basel on the Swiss motorway, stay in the middle lane from Pratteln onwards*. Follow the signs for « Euro Airport» and then drive through two tunnels («Schwarzwaldtunnel» and «Horburgtunnel»). Cross the Rhine on the covered bridge and drive into another tunnel («St. Johanntunnel»).
In the St. Johanntunnel, take exit No. 2 marked «Basel Kannenfeldplatz/Allschwil». After the tunnel, continue straight on until you see the blue sign «Allschwil» (5th traffic light) and then turn right into «Baslerstrasse» and follow the tram lines as far as the terminus.
Immediately after the Restaurant Rössli turn right into the road marked «Neuwiller». This curves sharply to the right after about 70 m. Continue to follow signs for «Neuwiller» as the road leads straight on up the hill.
Once you reach the level plain, about 1.5 km outside the village, turn left into «Markstallstrasse». Signs point to our School, which you will reach after about 400 m.

CAUTION: The centre of Allschwil village is closed on market days and you will need to follow the diversion signs marked «Neuwiller» that are set up on the outskirts of Allschwil.

*For our visitors from Germany:
After passing through the motorway customs, take the exit marked «Basel Kleinhüningen» and then follow the above directions.
