Buchs: the Swiss end of our own railway line
A taxi from St. Anton am Arlberg to Buchs costs from €235 for one to three passengers and from €245 for four to eight, per vehicle and one way, whatever the hour. It is around 85 kilometres and about an hour and twenty minutes, across the Rhine from Feldkirch.
Buchs is the first Swiss station on the line that runs through St. Anton. The trains between Vienna and Zurich stop at both, which makes it the point where an Austrian journey becomes a Swiss one: through carriages end, Swiss tickets begin, and the timetable you were reading changes hands.
We will say the obvious thing rather than hope you do not notice it: there is a direct train. If you are one or two people with a case each and the departure suits you, the train to Buchs is the better buy and we would take it ourselves. What it does not do is leave when you need it to, carry four people’s skis up a flight of steps, or exist at five in the morning. That is the whole of the case for the car, and it is enough for the people who ask us.
Where the car earns its keep here is the connection that does not wait. Missing a booked long-distance train in Buchs because a regional service ran late is an expensive kind of unlucky. A fixed price per vehicle and a driver who left St. Anton with the departure written down is the plain way round it, and it costs the same at six in the morning as at noon.
Vaduz is about ten minutes away on the other bank, and Sargans, where the lines to Chur and Graubünden split off, another quarter of an hour south. Buchs and Sargans are both on the second road our Zurich Airport transfers take, on the days Google Maps shows it as the quicker one.
The St. Anton to Buchs SG route on the map
The road from St. Anton to Buchs, stop by stop
Out of St. Anton the S16 goes straight into the Arlberg road tunnel — just under 14 kilometres, tolled, about fifteen minutes — and comes out at Langen am Arlberg. Then the Klostertal down to Bludenz and west past Feldkirch, which is the same opening as every other drive we make into Switzerland.
The Rhine is where it becomes a Swiss drive. The road crosses north of Liechtenstein and picks up the A13 on the Swiss bank, then runs south with the principality in sight across the water the whole way down — Vaduz is visible from the motorway — without ever entering it. Buchs is the first town of any size on that side.
Eighty-five kilometres, about an hour and twenty. No pass anywhere on the route, which on a travel day with a train to catch is worth more than the scenery.
Buchs is thirteen kilometres further than Vaduz — and takes exactly as long
The two face each other across the Rhine, about three kilometres apart, and from St. Anton they are nothing alike. Buchs is 85 kilometres and Vaduz is 72 — yet both take about an hour and twenty.
It is the crossing that does it. Buchs is reached by going over the Rhine north of the principality and down the Swiss motorway; Vaduz by driving into Liechtenstein and along its main road, through the villages, at fifty. Thirteen kilometres more of fast road takes exactly as long as thirteen fewer of slow.
Which means the choice between them is never about distance. It is about which side of the river you need — the Swiss station, or the capital of the principality.
The same railway passes through both ends of this drive
Here is the thing that makes this route unusual, and we would rather say it than have you find it out: St. Anton and Buchs are on the same railway line. The Railjet between Zurich and Vienna calls at both — four round trips a day — and it runs through the Arlberg tunnel on rails that lie beside the road we drive.
So if the timetable suits you and you are travelling light, take the train. It is a direct service with no changes at all, and for two people it costs a fraction of a car. We will not pretend otherwise.
What the train cannot do is leave when you need it to. Four departures a day is not a timetable you can bend around a 5 a.m. start or a connection in Buchs that leaves twenty minutes after the Railjet arrives. And with four people, four cases and ski bags, the walk to the platform at one end and the walk off it at the other are the parts nobody enjoys. Tell us the train you need to catch and we set the pickup from it.
And back again: taxi from Buchs SG to St. Anton
We drive the transfer in both directions, at the same fixed price. If you need collecting in Buchs SG — after a day out, after an appointment, after dinner — give us the time and the address when you book, and a car is there for it.
If you are arriving by train or bus, give us the service and not just a clock time — then the driver sets off with the real arrival in mind. And if you already know you are coming back, book both directions at once: the car is then allocated to both, late at night and early in the morning included.
