How to get there
By car
From Neuchâtel and Zurich, take the A5, or take the A6 from Bern. Take the exit 30 for Nidau. Drive through the old town of Nidau in the direction of Ins and turn right onto Ipsachstrasse at the roundabout. After 100 metres, you will see a sign for SCDH on the right. There is free parking on site.
