If possible, we recommend you print out your bike reservation and attach it to your bike where it is clearly visible to the ticket inspector. |
Can I bring pets on board? | Small pets can travel for free on ÖBB ICE trains if they’re placed in a carrier or cage. If you can’t carry them in a carrier or cage, you’ll need to buy a ticket for them. They must also be kept on a leash and equipped with a muzzle. Guide and assistance dogs are allowed on all trains at no additional cost and don’t need to wear a muzzle. |
What special assistance is available? | ÖBB ICE trains come with accessible toilets. Depending on the type of coach, several wheelchair bays including one seat for an accompanying person can be booked free of charge. On many trains, the wheelchair bays are in First Class.
