Scenic Trains

Scenic TrainsThe finest views of some of Europe’s most breathtaking and spectacular landscapes can be enjoyed from the comfort of a scenic train. Whether you are climbing up mountainsides on a rack and pinion railway, speeding past sparkling lakes or snaking along beautiful coastlines the train will take you there.
In Switzerland you can gaze at snow-capped mountains as the Jungfrau Railway conveys you to the highest railway station in Europe at 11,333ft, enjoy lunch on the narrow gauge Glacier Express as you admire the stunning scenery through the panoramic windows or travel over bridges and graceful viaducts, through switch-back tunnels hewn into the rock, past waterfalls, ravines and rushing mountain streams aboard the Bernina Express. Journey along the Rhine Gorge aboard a EuroCity train past the extensive vineyards and fairytale castles of the Rhine Gorge, cross the Italian-Swiss border as the Centovalli Railway threads its tranquil way over deep ravines, viaducts and bridges past sleepy villages and through 'a hundred valleys' or experience the dramatic Ligurian coastline on a journey from Genoa to Pisa.

Scenic Trains take you to some of Europe’s more inaccessible corners to pay homage to the simplicity and natural beauty of our planet.
