    Hi kcmukherjee and welcome to MySwissAlps!

    My first thought is that it would be hours – 2h 41 min – as in a 2 hour and 41 minute long train trip. Of course if it reads 41h21 as you wrote….well I hope you aren’t on a 41 hour trip?!

    Are you using the Swiss railways timetable? What route are you searching for?
