Business trips

Turn the train into a moving office and travel to your business meeting abroad in an environmentally friendly and efficient way.

Reasons for travelling by train for business

High level of comfort and flexibility: The most important items in the office are a table, a chair and a laptop – everything you would find on any long-distance train travelling on Europe’s rails. A day travelling by train is like a working day. While you hardly can use your travelling time for business when flying due to waiting times, transfers and changes, the only thing that distracts you from work on a train journey is the beautiful landscape outside the window or the good food from the dining car.

Thanks to flexible offers, it is also possible to book tickets that are valid on all trains on many routes. This means you can go straight to the station after the meeting and take the next train home. There are also hourly connections on most routes.

Environmentally friendly: One of the most efficient ways for companies to reduce CO2 emissions is to take the train for business trips. Travelling to Paris by train instead of by plane has the same impact on the climate as producing 9,000 coffee cups.

Transfer-free and right in the city centre: Board the train without checking in, enjoy a few hours in your reserved seat and be checked into your hotel at your destination just five minutes after arrival – travelling by train on business is that easy. The train stations are all centrally located, and many hotels are just a few minutes’ walk away.

Every day, over 100 trains connect Switzerland with ten countries throughout Europe and take you to business hotspots such as Paris, Milan, Cologne, Vienna and Munich without having to change trains.
