Help...need to buy train tickets from Venice to Switzerland

Try the Trainline app to see options. You’ll need to narrow down your destination. That could be a brutal travel night with a connection of a couple hours in the middle of the night. Or as many as 5 connections. Good luck.

Sorry, but this does not make sense. I see a departure just after 6 pm that leaves you hanging out in Innsbruck Hbf from 11:30 pm to 4:30 am the next morning. Why not make it easy and take the 3:18 EC train to Zurich, then change to a train to Sargans then a bus to Vaduz, getting you there by 11:16 pm.

Honestly, you are going way out of your way to visit the biggest nothingburger in Europe.

It will take just over 5 hours to get from Vaduz to Aigle with 3 changes. Bus to Sargans, train to Zurich, train to Lausanne, train to Aigle.

Thank you for your response. So we don't want to go to Liechtenstein...our goal is
Heididorf...great significance to us.

We figured the easiest way to get there is to Liechtenstein then taxi to Heididorf...this portion is a headache to work out:(

Just trying to figure the travel portion of this is crazy difficult:(

The other overnight route is to Buchs for the bus into Liechtenstein. Depending on opinions that is marginally less brutal- NJ236 at 2105, Salzburg arrive 0300, depart 0556 on Train RJX366, Buchs SG arrive 0959, LBA Bus 12 depart at 1005 then every 15 minutes on it's 6 minute journey to Schanns, Vaduz

To Aigle there are various 3 or 4 train combinations every half hour taking 5 to 6 hours via both Buchs and Sargans (Bus 11 every 30 minutes)

According to Google maps you don't have to route through Liechtenstein, there are closer Swiss stations at Bad Ragaz and Maienfeld.

Take the 2105 train as above via Salzburg, stay on the train to Sargans arrive 1023 on Track 4, depart at 1036 from Track 6, Bad Ragaz arrive 1041 Maienfeld arrive 1043

From Maienfeld to Aigle is a 4 train connection taking 4:39 at 42 minutes past each hour changing at Sargans, Zurich and Lausanne

On the SBB website/app the Venice to Maienfeld ticket will cost 87.60 Swiss Francs seated or 127.60 in a sleeper for the first train to Salzburg, then seated for the rest.

Maienfeld to Aigle on the 1742 train is 29.40 Swiss Francs.

I like a good timetabling challenge, this one is almost too easy!!

Thank you for such details. Where do I purchase all those tickets !!!

Indeed. Forget about Liechtentstein. If it hadn't been for the oddity that it is a sovereign state nobody would go there. It is a boring place that just happens to have its own car licence plates.

As to how to get to Maienfeld: Forget about the overnight route via Salzburg. You will be completely knackered when you arrive. You'll be spending three hours seated on a bench in a station in the middle of the night when there is nothing open, nothing going on.

If you really want to do this overnight stay in the night train till Münich Ost, and get out there. So you would need a NJ ticket Venice - Munich Ost, and a normal ticket Munich Ost to Maienfeld. You arrival time would be the same. And you will be on one of the new NJ trains, so it should be reasonable sleep.

But I would still advise against it. Abandon the Idea that you can cover large distances to out of the way places in a trivial amount of time. Plan travel days as travel days. Leave Venice in the morning so you can do the trip in daylight, and actually enjoy it. Spend the night in Maienfeld if that means a lot to you (I can relate, have done things like that myself) and then continue to Aigle.

The 29,40 ticket for Maienfeld - Aigle assumes you have a Half Fare Card (a transport discount card). Depending on what your plans in Switzerland are this might be useful for you to get. Without it the ticket will be more expensive.

Thank you very much
