 Poster: A snowHead
|
Having now booked the Birthday Bash I need to travel to Zermatt by public transport for the next week. My current route is Arabba transfer service to Venice Marco Polo airport, water taxi to Venice railway station, train to Milan change to the train for Brig, then Zermatt.
Does anyone have any experience of this route or could offer advice or alternatives?

Take the silver bird from Bolzano to Sion.

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

From Venice Marco Polo airport you can take the ATVO bus to Mestre on the mainland, there's no need to go all the way to Venice. The trains from Venice Santa Lucia will almost certainly also stop at Mestre station. The ATVO bus drops you off about 100metres from Mestre station. https://www.atvo.it/en-venice-airport.html

@Seahoob,
Bus from VCE then over the bridge to the train station. Or bus to Mestre train station the train from there.
The Rome2rio app is great for route planning. I’ve even used it in China and it tells you the platform that you need.

Google maps has you going via Brixen to Verona on local busses where you pick up the train rather than going to Venice Airport. It takes 11:45 hours and involves3 busses and 2 trains , however. There are several options a day.
I've found Google maps pretty good for route finding on public transport, but it doesn't seem to have the live information such as where the bus you are waiting for is of other apps and, of course, it is not available in China. Rome2rio appears more global than moovit.

@Alastair Pink, @GlasgowCyclops, Bus to Mestre station looks the best option, thanks.
@johnE, I started with Google maps, but it does lack the fine detail of other apps.
