How to get there:
Airport:
Euroairport Basel/Mulhouse/Freiburg is the closest airport. Located outside of the city center on french soil. Take a taxi (40.- CHF+) to the city or (recommended!) use public transport: The green airport bus number 50 is just outside the arrival (use exit SWITZERLAND). Simply buy a ticket on the machine and hop in. The bus drives directly to Basel SBB, where it turns and goes back to the airport.
Train:
All accommodation options are close to Bahnhof SBB.
If you arrive at Badischer Bahnhof, take tram number 2 to get to Basel SBB or the city center. Map.
CrossFit Basel:
If you travel by car, we ask you to use the parking at the right side of our gym. Follow the signs.
If you take the train, you will see that right at the exit of the train station, Basel SBB, public transport will be available. Here's how you get to us:
Tram number 10, direction 'Dornach Bahnhof' or tram number 11, direction 'Aesch'. Get out at stop 'Dreispitz' - from there it will only be a five minute walk to our gym.

4. Food Options:
Food is very important.
"Erst kommt das Fressen, dann die Moral." - Bertolt Brecht (Google Translate)
On Friday and Saturday, David's Fitness Food will provide his healthy meals.
Nane Sele will be in place with their kurdish organic food.
Skyr Iceland donates 1400! portion of Skyr for our event for you, the volunteers and the athletes.
We will have a stand where you can buy snacks, drinks and coffee on both days.
There is gas stations and grocery stores close by to CrossFit Basel in walking distance. They close at 23pm and open early in the morning.
On Saturday I can't recommend to walk to the next gas station from CrossFit Tremendous, you will need a car or prepare and shop beforehand. If you decide to walk, calculate 20min each way.
On both days ask Staff for directions.
