There's a direct train from Paris to Milan (about 7 hours) and from there to Verona in less than 2 hours. But in Milan, you might need to change train stations.

It should also be possible with an overnight stop in Germany, then Innsbruck and Verona. About three and a half between the last two.

This is just from the top of my head, but if you really want to give it a try, I can look into it more responsibly. I can even make a post if you have some rough dates in mind.

Thanks.

Tbh I have looked into it already. To tell the full story my journey actually begins in London where the only real option is the Eurostar to Paris or some other major city.

Last year I tried it for the first time by train, London to Paris then onwards to Stuttgart where I stayed at a friend’s place. A few days later we both traveled by car from Stuttgart to Bolzano/Bozen, my final destination.

I am looking at a similar journey again around March ‘26, this time I am also taking a set of high-ish end bicycle wheels with me that I fear might get damaged on a plane…

SNCF opens tomorrow the ticket sales for January 9 to March 29. But London to Verona is quite an interesting route.

Is it special deals SNCF will be offering?

Paris to Milan in 7hrs sounds interesting.

There will be better prices too. First-come, first-served. More exactly, those should be the best prices, right when they open the sales.

PS: Trenitalia offers Paris to Milan too, and it's a little shorter (with about half an hour or so).

Thanks again for all the info

Anytime!
