Dragging snowboard bag on OBB train - is it doable?

travel advice

Hey everyone, I’ll be taking an OBB train for about 3-4 hours (Zurich flughafen to Landeck-Zams) on my way to Ischgl and trying to decide whether bringing my snowboard is worth the hassle. Looks like I'd have at least one change at Zurich HB.

I’d likely have a snowboard bag, a carry-on luggage and a backpack. Has anyone done something similar on OBB trains?

A few things I’m wondering:

  • I'd imagine they get alot of visitors to go skiing/snowboarding and have ample space rack space but have you gotten into a situation where there's no space? What do you do???

  • How annoying is it to drag a snowboard bag with your carryon through the station and onto the train? I've only experienced with large checked in luggage and a carryon.

  • Would you say it’s manageable for one person?

The train ride is about 3-4 hours depending on the type of train running, so I’m mostly concerned about getting on/off the train, the platform change at Zurich HB and finding space for the board.

Thanks!
