The Alps 

The Alps - the last great barrier on the Grand Tour

The Alps are a striking mountain range that extend across several European countries, providing stunning views from snow peaked mountains to lush green valleys. Alps train holidays travel to many locations of beauty, with popular and particularly scenic ranges being found in Switzerland, Austria and the border of France and Italy. Some of the most well known sights of these majestic mountains can be seen when visiting the centrally positioned Swiss Alps. Train holidays in Switzerland are extremely scenic and there are a variety of environments to be seen as the train passes charming villages nestled in deep valleys and forests before ascending into flowering alpine meadows, eventually turning into rugged mountains surrounded by snow-covered embankments and icy glaciers. Choose from one of our spectacular Alps train holidays and experience a unique journey across the breathtaking landscapes of this epic natural phenomenon.
