The Must-sees of the trip
- A train journey through imposing Alpine regions
This extraordinary tour of the Alps starts in Basel and runs along Lake Thun to Spiez, then through the Rhone Valley on the remarkable old Lötschberg line. It passes through the Simplon tunnel, almost twenty kilometres long, before it reaches the Italian region of Piedmont. - Centovallibahn panoramic train
In Domodossola, we board the Centovalli railway panorama train towards Locarno. A superb train journey and a unique excursion through a varied landscape of deep gorges, wild mountain ranges, rivers and waterfalls. The journey of more than 52 km takes us over 83 bridges and through 31 tunnels in less than two hours. We’ll spend the night in Locarno, on the shores of Lake Maggiore. - Mountain railway over the Semmering
The opening of the world’s first mountain railway over the Semmering in 1854 was a milestone in European railway history. Since 1998, this spectacular line has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the morning, we take this spectacular mountain railway to Leoben. The journey continues over the Schober Pass to Stainach-Irdning and on the Salzkammergutbahn to Attnang-Puchheim.
