Oberalp pass trains options for cycle trip
Tom is planning a cycle trip in June, flying into Zurich from London, and is looking for advice on the easiest way to reach Oberalppass. He’ll be taking his bike with him and appreciates any travel tips.
- To get to Oberalppass, consider taking the route via Zurich to Chur, then to Disentis/Muster, and finally to Oberalppass.
- Make sure to check the Swiss railways timetable for direct connections; it's very helpful.
- You can take your bike on the trains, so confirm the regulations beforehand to ensure a smooth trip.

Oberalppass is on the Matterhorn Gotthardbahn (MGB railway from Disentis/Muster (in the east) to Andermatt (in the west).
Most direct route would be Zürich – Erstfeld – Göschenen – Andermatt, but since the opening of the Gotthard base tunnel SBB has made it hard to get to Göschenen as you need to change trains at Erstfeld.
The alternative is to go the other way round, ie Zurich – Chur (SBB); Chur – Disentis/Muster (RhB); Disentis – Oberalppass (MGB).

This PDF is even more helpful for you as it shows connections from Zürich Flughafen
