Swiss Train Times

Many travelers don't realize
just how compact Switzerland is, or how easy it is to enjoy by
train. To drive those points home, we've put together a few sample train
itineraries.
On major routes, you'll typically find intercity
trains leaving every hour from morning through late evening, with additional departures at
other times. To look up departure times online, use the Swiss Federal Railways
interactive journey planner or
search for printable route timetables in PDF format from the
Offizieles Kursbuch site.
