Summary: Swiss railway hotels

  • Train stations are not only your arrival location in town; they’re also the ideal starting point for day trips.
  • Almost every town has one or more good hotels at walking distance from the train station.
  • Save time and money as you won’t need a bus or taxi.
  • Check our town pages for hotel suggestions.

“I very much appreciated the suggestions of where to go based on our priorities of spending time in nature and away from crowds. I also appreciated the train guidance.”

Page author: ArnoI have visited Switzerland countless times since 1997. I've explored most of the country, but find myself staying in the Bernese Oberland and Graubünden most frequently. The alps and the rail network remain very impressive, even after all these years.
