Warning - Obstructions on the Salzburg - Villach - Venice (or Ljubljana) train route

The Tauern tunnel (Between Bad Gastein and Mallnitz) will be closed from November 18, 2024 to July 13, 2025 due to construction work.

A rail replacement bus service will run between Bischofshofen and Spittal-Millstättersee. The journey time between Salzburg and Villach will be extended by approx. 30 minutes with 2 changes.
Flixbus may be the better option during this time.

The night trains (Nightjet) from Munich/Stuttgart to Rome/La Spezia/Venice are canceled without replacement.

Details are published by OeBB. I did find a Web page in German only.

The online time table (and ticket shop) of OeBB reflects all current (and future) track closures due to construction works.

By the way, OeBB has procrastinated the major repair of the Tauern tunnel for a long time, but now, after more than 110 years of operation, it became unavoidable.
