Lakes & Mountains

Lakes & Mountains Escorted Tours

Away from the hustle and bustle of the cities, nature takes centre stage - and our lakes and mountains holidays showcase scenes that will take your breath away.

Make the journey part of the adventure as you explore the world's iconic mountains by rail. The Alps extend across Europe, providing stunning views of villages nestled in deep valleys and alpine meadows sprawling past rugged mountains. And what better way to discover them than on the world-renowned Glacier Express or Bernina Express?

The great lakes of the world provide no less scenic wonders but offer a more tranquil experience. Discover waters that dance between shades of emerald and aquamarine, where shores are dotted with elegant villas, ancient towns and leafy vineyards. From beautiful Garda and Como in Italy to the beauty of Austria's Lake Zell and, further afield, the unparalleled drama found in Canada's national parks. Wherever you go, discover extraordinary scenery ideally suited to explorations by rail.

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. Wind through snow-dusted mountains by train, sip local wines in family-run country estates or cruise the sparkling waters of the world's most beautiful lakes; there's no better way to see the world.

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.
