Thanks for that - my preferred route is from Zurich. still can't see a way to buy directly from Zelenice website although they do recommend ticket sellers in Slovenia who I can phone up and I guess they can send tickets to me. That SBB also looks interesting although I like the 48 hour turnaround time to get fare details after entering your requirements! I'll keep looking although more options are to possibly get a family friend in Slovenia to buy them and post them over, or if not then raileurope will be the other option.

Once again: http://www.oebb.at/ offers tickets from the Swiss border (Buchs SG) up to Ljubljana for 29 EUR (for example for the random date of Oct 23rd) whereas http://www.voyages-sncf.com fares for Paris - Zurich tickets start at 39 EUR. Zurich - Buchs SG costs 27 EUR.
Zurich - Villach tickets with OeBB start at 49 EUR and Villach - Ljubljana tickets start at 21 EUR (with OeBB too). Where is the problem?

to be short, when you use a website of specific country's train. Better start or end your journey inside that country. You cant find the price from swiss to slovenia in German's train website.

Actually there's another connection via frankfurt, but that train might not operate everyday. I'd suggest do it via Buch SG, book in advance (3-90 days before the journey) and you can save a lot.

The problem is you cant print that ticket out. I bought once the ticket from Ljubljana to Munich but I couldn't print it from the internet so I went to DB office in Munich and buy it there. The staff told me that, in Slovenia they dont have the same barcode reader as other western EU countries. The ticket need to be issued from ticket office or sent by post. If you have more time in Europe, just buy it when you arrive Paris.

Hi,

I know this thread is old but If I wanted to do this leg but in reverse would I still follow the same trains?

Also is there any way of getting to Marseilles from Ljubljana?
