The borders between France and Switzerland are not closed. Reinforced checks are planned and some secondary border crossings will be temporarily closed. However, access to Geneva remains ensured through the main border crossings that remain open, as well as through railway stations and Geneva Airport.
For visitors travelling from within Switzerland, access to Geneva and Palexpo remains possible. Some specific restrictions are planned on the A1 motorway towards the Bardonnex customs platform, from the Meyrin exit, after Palexpo, between 15 and 17 June. These restrictions do not, however, call into question access to the trade fair.
Visitors coming from France, Italy or other neighbouring regions are invited to plan their journey in advance, allow additional time for border crossings and consult the official information before departure.
Public transport will also continue to operate, including the Léman Express. Some occasional adjustments may affect certain lines, particularly cross-border services. Visitors are therefore encouraged, whenever possible, to use trains, public transport and collective mobility solutions.
EPHJ, which is fully booked, remains fully mobilised to welcome its exhibitors, visitors, partners and media representatives in the best possible conditions. The trade fair will open on 16 June with a first highlight in reference to the G7 Summit in Évian: the Global Watchmaking G7, which will bring together the world’s leading watchmaking nations.
To prepare your visit in the best possible way, we recommend that you:
