Hi,
Can anyone confirm that luggage lockers are available at small train stations? I'm going to need to store a large and small roller luggage that meet the measurements shown at the major station Large and Small luggage lockers. I'm looking to store at towns like Bad Ragaz, Maienfeld, and Unterterzen. The SBB site doesn't list these as having luggage lockers, but I read that there may be some lockers owned by other companies.
Thank you!
I needed similar for Sicily and I discovered that there is an app for luggage storage called RadicalStorage. I'm not sure if it covers Switzerland but it is worth a try. Also, try places that you are visiting. One museum I visited in Switzerland had luggage storage. Another idea is to see if there are hotels/inns close to the train stations and check to see if they'd be willing to store luggage (for a fee)
Thank you for the suggestions. I will look into that app. I have already been in contact with the places we want to stay, and appreciate the suggestion. I have just confirmed with one hotel that they are willing to hold our luggage even though we are not guests and the location is very convenient.
Do yourself a big, big favor and limit the size of suitcases you're taking. We use Rick Steves' packing instructions, and we can travel indefinitely on 10 kg. I remember my poor father having to handle my mother's big suitcase until they quit traveling internationally in their mid 80's.
Train station luggage storage is hit and miss. Sometimes you've just got to take it with you.
You can look up those train stations online to see if the subject is noted. I use Wikipedia.com for train stations and airports to get info.
Unterterzen and Maienfeld are very small stations: they are unlikely to have any sort of lockers, or if they do, only small ones. Bad Ragaz has a higher chance of lockers.
Regarding Maienfeld... I'll be looking forward to the trip report to Heididorf. Looks...intriguing!
