Come summer or winter, our lakes and mountains rail holidays take you back to nature in comfort, offering a feast for the eyes and authentic local experiences.

Italian Lakes

A distinctly laid-back ambience invites exploration alongside Italy's stunning lakes. From glamorous Lake Como, surrounded by the Alps, to unsung gems like Lakes Iseo and Orta, each body of water delights with backdrops of mountains, timeless villages and historic villas.

Swiss Alps

Some of the world's most dramatic scenery awaits in the Swiss Alps. This region of towering peaks and crystalline lakes is dotted with charming resort villages brimming with tradition. Whether exploring Switzerland by rail, cable car or boat, each angle brings remarkable views.

Rocky Mountains

Discover North America's nature at its finest in the Canadian Rockies. Stretching across British Columbia and Alberta, this towering range is so impressive that it is home to numerous national parks, including the UNESCO-protected Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks - Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Kootenay.

Scandinavian Fjords

Scandinavia's fjordlands are as diverse as the region itself. While travelling in coastal Norway, look upon plunging waterfalls and forested peaks surrounding the crystalline water, as well as charming villages and modern cities, such as Oslo, built with ebbs and flows of the fjords.
