Arlbergbahn route: Large closure - tips for travelers!

Ötztal, Österreich - The Arlbergbahn line will be closed in the period from April 14, 8:30 a.m. to April 19, 3:00 a.m. due to urgently needed maintenance work. This was announced by the ÖBB, which set up a replacement of rails during this time. Travelers are suggested to use alternative travel options to continue their journey.

The rail replacement traffic is offered between the Tyrolean Ötztal, Bludenz, Feldkirch and Sargans stops in Switzerland. In addition, bus connections between Innsbruck and Ötztal are also occasionally set up. Night trains are particularly affected, which have to be diverted across Germany. For Nightjet customers, however, a replacement train between Salzburg and Ötztal is provided in order to continue to be able to operate the stops along the route.

Details on rail replacement traffic

The users of the rail replacement traffic are asked to switch to the bus connections provided between the Ötztal and Bludenz stops. The ÖBB points out that passengers should pay attention to the earlier departure times of the trains from Bregenz towards Feldkirch to plan upstairs.

In connection with the maintenance work, the travelers also remind you to find out about the latest information on the ÖBB website. In addition to the construction site information, important information on the processing of personal data that is related to the ÖBB chat service can also be found here

The provision of chat services requires the collection of data such as IP address and device information that is processed in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation.
