Getting to Toblach-Dobbiaco and return
Catching and booking a train to and from Toblach/Dobbiaco.
- Firstly, if you are getting a little confused with place names, that is because in South Tyrol, both German and Italian are spoken, and German is the people’s first language. Every place name is represented by 3 names actually, but Goggle only publishes the German/Italian names. So, moving on.
- We offer support to help you find the correct train to Toblach/Dobbiaco, South Tyrol, Italy from within Italy. Likewise when finishing the trip, exact details of where and when will be given once you are booked on the trip, so you can organise your onward train journey.
- Catching trains in Italy is a fantastic way of seeing the country. The fares are cheap, they run on time and you will see more from a comfortable seat on the train, than from an autostrada with 8 lanes of trucks and cars shooting by you. So please contact me using the details on contact page or via the WhatsApp button at the bottom on the page if you need support.
- I find other train passengers are quite accommodating when they see a person travelling with a large suitcase and a big ski bag. I have found that there is always space for my skis, and I have never had to “check it in” or pay extra.
- If you book about a month ahead you will find that you will have a better chance of securing a discounted seat, rather than just booking on the day. Please see me for tips on some good booking apps.
- We will meet you at Toblach/Dobbiaco train station and assist you to get to our hotel in our minibus.
Pre and post trip support
We can also help in finding a hotel in either Milan or Venice and even with a few ideas of things that you might like to do. Just contact me through the contact page or on the Whatsapp button at the bottom of this page.
