Our Story

Timo met Valérie in early 2022. They fell in love. But there was a problem: Valérie lived about 900 kilometers away – in Amsterdam. Timo wanted to travel environmentally friendly and was therefore looking for a suitable night train.

However, his search turned out to be complicated and time-consuming: He needed to visit every website of the various providers and collect all the available connections and prices himself.

Frustrated by this, Timo built a first prototype in his spare time, which enables searching for night trains in Switzerland and Germany. night-ride.ch went live in June 2023. He doesn't seem to be the only one facing the same problems: visitor numbers exploded after just a short time!

Encouraged by the success, Timo got his two colleagues, Fabian and Niklas, on board at the beginning of 2024. Together, they launched the new comparison platform nightride.com in the summer of 2024.

Behind this stands Night Ride AG. It was founded by Timo Grossenbacher, Fabian Schneider and Niklas Jäggi in the beautiful Swiss baroque town of Solothurn. Together with the employees and shareholders, they share a passion for sustainable night journeys.
