Are you planning to travel to the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site by train? Great idea! From international connections and real-time updates on service changes to local public transport and onward transfer options: Here’s everything you need to know about getting to the region by train.
Deutsche Bahn, the Schweizerische Bundesbahnen, the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) and Trenitalia all offer connections to Franzensfeste.
From there, take the local train towards Innichen, with the option of getting off in Niederdorf, Toblach, Innichen or Vierschach/Helm. To reach Sexten and the Prags valley, simply continue your journey on the region’s well-connected local bus network, departing from Innichen or Niederdorf.
The compact yet spectacular 3 Zinnen Dolomites region is very well connected. Numerous international rail links bring you quickly and reliably to the stunning mountain world.
Sections of the Puster Valley Railway are expected to be closed until January 2026 due to upgrades. During this period, replacement bus services will be available to ensure smooth travel.
