Your Onward Transfers In Switzerland

Your itinerary will show your recommended onward train times and we'll even tell you which platform to head for!

Arriving by air

Zurich and Geneva

Both airports have a railway station conveniently located within the terminal, with frequent connections across Switzerland. Clear signage makes it easy to find your platform – and you can even wheel a luggage trolley onto the escalators.

Basel

From Basel airport, an efficient shuttle bus departs every 20 minutes for the short ride to the city’s main railway station.

Arriving by rail

For those arriving into Switzerland by international rail, you will find easy connections departing from the station into which you arrive (Geneva, Basel, Zurich and Bern).

Second class in Switzerland is already excellent, but an upgrade to First Class adds comfort and little luxuries at a surprisingly modest cost.

You can expect:

• Wider, individually adjustable seats
• More legroom and space to move around
• Quieter carriages with fewer passengers
• Power sockets and more luggage space
• At-seat minibar service on many routes

You may prefer to break your journey with a night or two in your arrival city before heading to your resort. We work with a selection of 3, 4 and 5 star hotels and will be pleased to make a recommendation for your stay.

There are also some delightful alternatives to airport hotels if you have an early or late flight:

For Zurich, consider Winterthur known as the ‘Garden City’ I 15 minutes by rail from the airport

For Geneva, why not stay in pretty Morges on the lake shore I 40 minutes by rail from the airport

Zurich, Geneva and Basel airports are located on Switzerland’s northern and western edges.

Most lakes and mountains resorts are to be found further towards the centre of the country, hence the rail transfer, much of which will be through interesting and scenic landscapes. Some resorts are more easily reached from Zurich, others from Geneva – our team will be delighted to advise on the best routing for your holiday.
