Our top trips featuring bucket-list journeys
(Better than) the Bernina Express
Basel, Lugano, Varenna, Chur, Zürich and Paris
You’ve heard of the Bernina Express. Lesser known is the local train running along the same railway: fewer tourists, more flexibility, the same epic views.
West Highland Line
Fort William, Oban and Glasgow
Experience wild landscapes as you skirt lochs, snake through glens and cross the Glenfinnan Viaduct on both branches of the famous West Highland Line.
The Bergen Line and the Flam Railway
Hamburg, Oslo, Bergen, Cologne and Amsterdam
Tick off two of Norway’s bucket list train journeys. Drift past fjords and glaciers, ascending the steepest standard-gauge railway in the world.
Austria’s scenic railways
Zürich, Innsbruck, Salzburg, Graz, Vienna, Paris and sleeper
Traverse the length of Austria from west to east by way of the country’s most scenic railways, including the Arlberg Pass and the Semmering line.
Cinque Terre Express
Zürich, Milan, Monterosso al Mare, Turin, Chambery, Paris
Short but very sweet indeed. You’ll pass fishing villages and all five cities of Cinque Terre. Hop off at any point for an impromptu dip.
Portugal’s Douro Line
Nîmes, Madrid, Porto, Pocinho, Vigo, Santiago de Compostela, Burgos and Bordeaux
Portugal’s spectacular journey to ‘nowhere’. Board a Wes Anderson-esque carriage heading along the Douro River valley to the border’s edge.
