Re: how far away is Bern from Baden.

Trains are good.

Basically, since switzerland is so small, it doesn't really matter where you live, one can always find a crag that is at most an hour or an hour and a half from everyone. I regularly meet with climbers coming from Zurich, Lausanne, and Zug, often on the same outing, we just meet somewhere not too far for all of us.

This is for outdoors climbs. For regular, gym rat climbing, obviously, it is more convenient to be in the same town, but I'm not picky.
