Skiing by Train from Zurich
Hi,
I will be spending some months in Zurich and wanted to get in a bit of Weeknd Skiing. At present the plan is not to have a car. Does anyone know if it is practical to get anywhere reasonable by train for the weekend (or for the day?) and maybe you could suggest a few destinations if there are any? Was somewhat warm there last weekend. ~15C. Thanks. |

See the list I just reposted up there ^^^ in the "paging Ace..." thread. Everywhere in Switzerland ia easily accessible by train, which services link in with local bus services ("Post Bus") when the lines don't run right into the ski resort itself. See www.sbb.ch for timetables, which will include all necessary bus connections. And be aware that when the Swiss say that trains and busses are linked, what they mean is that in the rare event of a train arriving late, the bus will wait for it before leaving. Switerland, where "integrated public transport" is a way of life, not a pipe=dream. Was somewhat warm there last weekend. ~15C. Was up to about +10C at village level in Engelberg, but still only +5C or so on the mountain, so the now was still pretty good. |
