Scenic Mountain Routes

There are so many spectacular mountain journeys, particularly in Switzerland where it barely seems possible to board a train without having a great view from the window, that we simply cannot list them all, so here are some of our favourites and we will be adding more all the time.

More The Glacier Express route
The journey from Zermatt via Brig and Chur to St. Moritz along the route of the Glacier Express is one of the most famous mountain journeys in the world.

More Munich to Innsbruck via Garmisch    
The local trains from Munich to Innsbruck via Garmisch travel through the impressive Karwendel range, calling at the village of Mittenwald, famous for its violin manufacture, before making a spectacular descent into Innsbruck itself.

More The Brenner Pass
Take the famous Brenner Pass from Austria into Italy for fantastic scenery while en route to the south. From Innsbruck, via Bolzano to Verona, this route offers some of the best scenery that can be seen from a main-line train.
