Paris to Salzburg Sleeper Train

Hello. I am trying to book a sleeper train from Paris to Salzburg on May 24th - are they all full, or do the routes simply not run anymore? When I look on the OBB website, it says that there are no routes for this. When I check from other countries like Belgium, a bunch of routes pop up. Does anyone have advice on this? 

 

Thank you.

There’s no sleeper from Paris to Salzburg.

There’s a Nightjet from Brussels - it only runs on Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday.

If you go by day, you shouldn’t need 4 trains. You can go direct Paris-Zurich, then direct Zurich-Salzburg. Or via Paris-Munich-Salzburg (usually needs 2 changes).

It doesn’t seem like OBB offers this service anymore. Does anyone have ideas how to get there?

I guess I could do the regular way, but it’s like 4 train stops.

There are also a few options during the day with just 1 change in Mannheim, Stuttgart or Munich. (The reservations on the direct trains  from Paris to Germany are also a bit cheaper then on the direct TGV to Switzerland). But there are a lot of options with 2 changes as already mentioned.

Paris-Salzburg(-Vienna) was discontinued last December.
