Train from Bern to Vienna

Posted by (Stratford, CT, USA) on

I am traveling with my daughter next week thru Switzerland, Austria and Germany. From Bern we need to get to Vienna and I'm trying to decide between flying and the train. There is a connecting train in Zurich from Bern which allows 12 mins to transfer. Is that enough time?

Also, is the Zurich to Vienna leg scenic? It is a very long trip and we wish to travel during the day. If there are nice views, it will help pass the time!

Any info would be appreciated.

The 8:32 connection out of Bern has a one platform, 12 min change in Zurich. As long as you are paying attention, that should not be a problem.

It looks like the second train goes through Vorarlberg and the Tirol to Innsbruck. That part should be scenic, as well as the trip down the Inn to Kiefersfelden. From there to Salzburg isn't ugly, but I wouldn't call it particularly scenic either. Can't say about the part from Salzburg to Vienna.
