Vienna to Switzerland via train

I am planning a trip from Vienna to Geneva ( or maybe another place in Switzerland) but would like to travel by train from one to the other. Has anybody travelled this route before, how much it is and how long it takes??

hi..





I travelled to Vienna to Basel in Switzerland once. it takes a while. around 12 hours. but check www.oebb.at for details. Price should be about 150 Euro.

Hi, i am about to travel geneva to vienna. Just wondering how you ended up making the trip?

For your information: the rail line over Arlberg (between the Swiss border and Innsbruck) has been destroyed by floods and not rebuilt yet. The trains are re-routed via Germany, it takes longer of course. Just look at www.sbb.ch and www.oebb.at for infos.

Just to ad the good information just posted about the flood problems. The area west of landeck, in Austria, to the Swiss border is now being serviced by bus transfer if you go that way.



Or you detour via Germany. In each case the journey is much longer in time and more transfers are needed. Problems may still exist some places in Swiss too





Look for cheap flights- it may be easier for the near future but less scenic.
