I have one Adult and one Youth second-class German Rail Pass. The youth traveller is 13.
We need to travel from München Hbf to Peschiera del Garda on Friday 24 July 2026.
The route we are considering is:
- RJ 81, München Hbf 07:34 to Venezia Mestre 16:46
- Frecciarossa 9750, Venezia Mestre 17:30 to Peschiera del Garda 18:46
RJ 81 appears to be diverted via Salzburg, Villach and Tarvisio because of the Brenner closure.
The German Rail Pass information says that DB-ÖBB EuroCity and Railjet trains operating between Germany and Venice are included, with a supplement required. However, when I try to reserve RJ 81 through Rail Planner, it says:
“One or more Passes don’t cover this journey.”
Could anyone please confirm:
- Are German Rail Passes valid on this diverted RJ 81 from Munich to Venice?
- If the pass is not valid for the full journey, exactly where does the German Rail Pass coverage end?
- How should I purchase the supplement and reserve two second-class seats together?
- Is there a better route from Munich to Peschiera del Garda that makes good use of the German Rail Pass without taking significantly longer?
- Am I correct that Venezia Mestre to Peschiera del Garda requires separate full Trenitalia tickets, rather than passholder reservations?
I would be grateful for confirmation from anyone familiar with this temporary diversion.
