What is the best option to reach my place of accommodation from the airport?
Public transit is a solid choice for your stay in Vienna, yet not the best right after you arrive at the airport. First of all, you will be tired and having to look for the right routes right as you get off the airplane will not be pleasant. The luggage that you will be carrying will also make your task even more exhausting.
What we recommend are professional Vienna airport taxi services. These are excellent for those that have just reached the city due to several reasons. First of all, the trip is comfortable and free of stress, as you do not have to deal with any kind of effort. Second of all, the price paid for the increased comfort is quite affordable. Last, but not least, cab drivers are often excellent sources of information when it comes to the city, and they can guide tourists towards excellent experiences. With that being said, here is how you can go from Vienna to Switzerland’s top ski destinations.

- By car
You can get from Vienna to Switzerland in less than a day by car, making you able to experience two amazing places during the same vacation. After 7-8 hours of driving, you can find yourself in top ski destinations such as Davos, St. Moritz, Zermatt, with many others available within less than 12 hours of travelling.
- By train
There are various trains taking you from Vienna to practically all top ski resorts in Switzerland. Connecting trains are common, yet the route and point of change are always clear when acquiring tickets. Although slower than cars, you will still arrive in less than a full day.

Unsurprisingly, the best ski resorts are close to small towns and villages that do not have an airport. However, flying to Zurich will take you to an excellent location that is in the proximity of numerous top resorts. From there, you can easily take a train to Davos, Zermatt, St. Moritz, Andermatt, Saas Fee and many other well-known resorts.
