Hi, I need to get from Chamonix to Munich by train. Can anybody help me with schedule, cost, time, etc...? Thanks!
For both of your itineraries and any others in Europe use Die Bahn (site of the German national rail network)
http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en?newrequest=yes&protocol=http:&
to do research. Enter "Start" and "Destination" cities, expected date and time of travel, and the other requested info, and the site will return lots of options. Munich-Geneva is about 7-9 hours, Chamonix-Munich 9-11 hours. Very useful site.
After you get summary timetables at the Die Bahn site, click on "Details for all" to see the connection points. You can get a good idea of the total fare by going to the various national rail sites and pricing each leg: sncf.com for France, www.sbb.ch for Switzerland, and bahn.de for Germany.
Thanks so much for the info. Any thoughts on buying the tickets ahead of time online or just at the station? Thanks again!
