 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Having found myself with no one to ski with this feb half term (for some mad reason i decided to go into teaching 3 years ago) I booked a trip with extreme holidays to Davos. I looked at the documents the other day and realised that there is only an hour between the plane landing and the transfer bus leaving - after that there are no more coaches and I would have to get the train. Is the train journey from Zurich to Davos easy and is it fairly straightforward to work out platforms etc? Or am i worrying about nothing and an hour is more than enough? Any advice gratefully received!!

VickyP, The train journey is straight forward. The train station is right on Zurich Airport. There is a change involved, but that is not a big hassle. It takes about three hours.
I have done it a couple of times, but on a Fly/Rail, so I was not carrying luggage.
You need to know if you are alighting at Davos Dorf or Davos Platz.
I would have thought your transfer coach would wait for any late arrivals though.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks for the info. I thought that the coach would wait, but it sounded a bit ominous when it said "if you miss the coach phone to reserve a place on the next one, if it is the last you will need to get the train" I know I would need to get off at Davos Platz. Think I'm going to cross my fingers for no delays or lost baggage and deal with the train if it happens!

VickyP, It is easy as Latchigo, said, I seem to remember it was a change at Chur, it is quite spectacular if there has been a recent snow fall, the front mounted plough really throws it aside and they don't slowdown, afterall it is Switzerland and they have a timetable to keep to.
I know the Davos Klosters area well, you will have a great time, have you seen the WEF inteviews in the falling snow?

No, it's at Landquart (I misremembered the change in exactly the same way before). IIRC it's across the platform one way, and under the tunnel the other. The change was about 5 mins - just enough time for a couple hundred skiers to switch trains with luggage.

Yup, its an easy journey, change at Chur, IIRC. Some of the trains are double deckers, very scenic trip (if it's daylight).

Sounds like a great journey, if it wasn't going to be dark I think I'd hope for a delay! Thanks for all the info, only 3 weeks 1 day!
