Visa guide
Switzerland is part of the Schengen Area, even though it is not in the EU. Many travellers can enter visa-free for short stays, while others need a Schengen visa. Short stays are generally limited to 90 days in any 180-day period, including time spent in other Schengen countries.
Cost Insights
Geneva is among the most expensive cities on the HYROX calendar. Hotel rooms commonly start at $200–300 USD per night, even for mid-range options. A basic restaurant meal often costs $30–50, with casual food still priced above $15. Public transport is excellent—and often included with hotel stays—but other daily expenses add up quickly. While the city is clean, safe, and scenic, athletes should plan accordingly for a premium price tag. Geneva delivers Swiss quality but demands a Swiss-sized budget.
