Reasons for cycling holidays by train
Inexpensive: The bike transport costs only around CHF 20 extra per bike.
Flexible: Get off the train in one place, do your cycle tour, and then travel back home from another place. With the train, you are not tied to a vehicle and can organise your bike tour however you like.
Direct: There are numerous train connections from Switzerland on which you can easily take your bicycle without having to change trains. Wherever possible, we will reserve seats for you right next to the bicycle zone.

Connections
Whether travelling on the German ICE, the Austrian Railjet or the Eurocity to Italy, all of these trains offer bicycle transport. For journeys to France, bicycles can also be taken on TER express trains and selected TGV trains. This makes it easy to take your bike on the train without folding it up.
Travel wherever you want!
SimpleTrain takes you to any train station in Europe. And if you want to take your bicycle with you, there is usually a way to take it on the train as well.
Information about travelling with a bike
Sur les espaces vélos ou emballé dans un Transbag
De nombreux trains internationaux longue distance et la plupart des trains régionaux en Europe disposent de leurs propres espaces vélos, sur lesquels les vélos peuvent être garés très confortablement pour le voyage. Le vélo peut être accroché aux crochets à vélo et verrouillé pendant le voyage, tandis que tu peux profiter de ton voyage dans ton compartiment ou dans la voiture-restaurant.
Les espaces vélos sont rares, surtout en été, c’est pourquoi il vaut la peine de commander à l’avance. Si tu as commandé sur SimpleTrain, les espaces vélos sont également réservées – tu n’as donc pas à t’inquiéter que ton vélo ne puisse pas monter dans le train.
Dans les trains sans espaces vélos, les vélos peuvent être transportés dans des sacs spéciaux pour vélos (Transbags).
