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

Glasgow and Fort William

Experience a wild feast of Highland landscapes as you skirt Loch Lomond, snake through Rannoch Moor and cross the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct. 

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.
