Free-Range Travel with the Bodensee Ticket
Buy it once and forget about other fees. The Lake Constance Ticket is valid in all Lake Constance border countries: Switzerland, Austria or Germany. Valid for one day or three days, this ticket offers an Inter-rail experience. Holiday guests can decide freely and spontaneously where they want to go — wherever and whenever they wish. Destinations and sights can be combined, making it easy and fun to discover the three-country region. This is also an option for locals who want to travel affordably in small groups. Cyclists, on the other hand, can buy a Bike-Combo ticket to combine sporty tours with return journeys or destinations beyond. The best feature of the ticket: It’s also valid for ferry connections across the lake, in addition to bus and train!
From near or far, Lake Constance visitors can now plan and enjoy their trips without parking hassles or traffic worries. Relaxed, easy travel is possible on the train, bus and two ferry connections between Constance- Meersburg and Friedrichshafen-Romanshorn, CH. Visitors have access to 4,000 kilometers of train routes, organized in three tariff zones. Zone 1 includes St. Gallen and part of the Appenzell Canton and the Bregenzerwald in Austria. In Germany, Zone 1 includes the Allgäu region to Ravensburg. Zone 2 encompasses the Constance area, Thurgau, CH, Meersburg and Überlingen. Zone 3 surrounds the whole Untersee including the Hegau and connects Constance, Singen and Schaffhausen.
1 Ticket, 1,000 Possibilities
Imagine an unlimited castle and fortress tour … From Laufen Castle at the Rheinfalls over the Munot fortress in Schaffhausen’s old city to the Hohentwiel fortress ruins in Singen: All three belong to Zone 3. Or, how about a museum tour for modern art lovers going from Singen to Ravensburg to Bregenz, Austria. A 3-day pass for 2 adults and up to 4 children costs 69 Euros / 97 Francs. This multi-zone ticket option is ideal for family tours around the lake — for example, Affenberg in Salem to Conny-Land in Lipperswil and Sea Life in Constance.
Affordable and No Stress
The Lake Constance 1-Day-Ticket is valid in all three zones for 26 Euro / 36 Francs, per person. Single zones cost 18,50 Euro / 27 Francs. Children ages 6 - 15 pay half price, and kids under 6 travel free. The 3-Day-Ticket costs only 41 Euro / 57 Francs. Those with the Bahncard, Halbtax-Abo or the Austrian Vorteilscard receive additional discounts.
Extra-Plus: the White Fleet Lake Constance passenger ships are offering 25 percent discounted fares, and another reason to visit.
A Great Deal for Bikers
Take the train or ferry, then explore a new place to mountain bike or e-bike: a good way for locals to discover new terrain and their home region with fresh eyes. Now it’s easy to do with the “Bike-Combo” Lake Constance Ticket available for 1-Day and 1-Zone for 29,40 Euro / 43 Francs. A 1-Day-Ticket for 3-Zones costs 37 Euro / 52 Francs.
