Arrival from Austria
From one culture town to the next: fast and convenient. Zurich can be reached directly from Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck and Graz – both with a day connection or overnight.
During the day, the Railjets of Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) take travellers to Zurich at two-hour intervals. The Zurich hub offers excellent onward connections to all Swiss regions. Depending on the chosen class, guests benefit from various services such as power outlets and catering to the seat.
Those who prefer to make the most of daylight may choose to travel asleep to their destination: on the ÖBB Nightjet. Not only does this save hotel expenses, it also comes with free mineral water and breakfast in the couchette and sleeping coaches.
