Dawne Guest Posts: n/a	Train Connections from Feldkirch Austria to Antibes France We cannot decide whether to catch a flight from Zurich to Nice and then taxi to Antibes or use our Eurail passes and take trains. Someone told me that there would be too many connections via the rail system. Since we have a lot of time though, we thought it might be a pleasant way to travel and see the countryside. Would appreciate and help on the connections we would have to take to get from Feldkirch to Antibes or any site that would aid us with the connections. Thanks so much.

Thanks so much. http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en gives two main choices, both requiring a train to Zurich first. An early departure from Feldkirch (6.46) to Zurich then gives a connection at Geneva onto a through French TGV to Antibes (arr 19.50). Fairly pretty, but in my opinion the much more spectacular run is dep Feldkirch 10.50, change Zurich onto an Italian Cisalpino which runs straight through the mountains to Milano. You then have to change at Milano and the French border, arriving Antibes 22.48. if you are travelling in summer the last leg is along the coast. from 7pm onwards. HTH Tony

What about Feldkirch 7:15 to Buchs SG 7:39/8:01 to St.Gallen 8:56/9:02 to Arth-Goldau 10:47/52 to Nice Ville 19:58/20:18 to Antibes 20:32? Problems with using the Nice - Antibes - Luxemburg overnighter on Eurail? Conditions d'emprunt du train de nuit Nice - Antibes - Luxembourg en places assises avec carte Eurail? Regards & X-post, ULF

Swiss Federal Railways website http://www.rail.ch/index_e.htm shows itineraries of approximately 12 hours with 2 or more train changes for Feldkirch -> Antibes. With enough time and the right rail-pass I would consider a detour through Switzerland using "Glacier Express" at least from Chur to Brig (with possibility of a side-trip to Zermatt/Gornergrat - my preferred side-trip) or better St.Moritz to Brig and then Brig -> Geneva or Brig -> Milano for Antibes Less spectacular but still nice is "Golden Pass". Details for the "classic scenic routes" in Switzerland are at http://www.rail.ch/pv/sts-pano_e.htm And just one more hint when preparing itineraries for a rail-pass trip: use "options" to remove the "bus" selection Have a great trip J.E.(Hans)Rotzetter jer(at)iprolink.ch
