HOW TO GET THERE ?
This year, there is no excuse not to come to the Caprices Festival, as there are numerous free or reduced price public transport options.

The Caprices Festival is joining forces with the TCS for the fifth year running. The TCS buses will safely transport festival-goers to Crans-Montana from Geneva, Valais and Vaud at unbeatable prices.
As for the public transport within the canton of Valais, the bus stops for the way up are determined by the following list. On the way back, the driver will stop along the road according to the festival – goers requests.
Registration
To secure your place in one of the TCS buses, reserve your return trip from the town of your choice without delay : call 021 620 04 10 or fill the subscriber form ! The TCS bus will drop you off just a few steps away from the festival entrance.
For the return trip, the TCS bus will depart from the same place, which will be marked by a TCS arch. Be careful, departure times are fixed, be on time!
And during the festival, if you want to use the bus to get home, you can buy your ticket at the TCS stand in the Festival Rue des Stands. Please note, first come, first served !
