Train Venice to Zurich High Speed EuroCity (EC)

EuroCity (EC) is the name used for international cross-border day train connections between Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Switzerland, as well as Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary and Denmark. Eurocity trains include a wide variety of operators and trains. Most of these trains rely on slightly retro carriages and speed is not a hallmark of these services. At their best, EuroCity trains are stylish and sedate.
You’ll come across EuroCity services on major international routes to, from or through Berlin, Budapest, Hamburg, Munich, Prague, Verona, Vienna, Warsaw, Zagreb and Zurich. It is essentially a brand promoted by the railways of central Europe, with most trains managed by cooperation between two or more national rail operators.
EuroCity trains are comfortable, with plenty of legroom and adequate space for luggage.
On most EuroCity services, the crew will come through the train offering cold and hot drinks, sandwiches and cold snacks.
Most EuroCity services provide food and drink options, often a buffet car and many offer full-meal services in an onboard restaurant. There is a lot of variability, however. EuroCity trains from Zurich to Cologne via the Rhine Valley, for example, have an excellent restaurant car, yet some EuroCity trains from Slovenia to Austria may have no refreshment facilities at all.
