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 flowering Alpine meadows that turn into rugged mountains. And what better way to discover them than on the world-renowned Glacier or Bernina Express?

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

Come summer or winter, our lakes and mountains rail holidays get you back to nature in comfort, offering up a stunning feast for the eyes as well as 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.

Traditional Glacier Express

“From start to finish the trip was well planned. The administration was comprehensive and helpful. The tour guide contacted each traveller before the journey commenced and provided lots of additional itinerary information and advice. The hotels were good and the itinerary did not disappoint. There were a couple of free days but with optional choices for those seeking more trips. The company app was very useful: it had weather information, currency conversions, hotel locations and much more. The other travellers were great fun and we had a wonderful time. The scenery was amazing and the trip was an absolute pleasure, which we recommend highly to others.

“We selected this holiday to enable us to visit some places we have always wanted to go to and we were not disappointed. The highlights being Lake Bled, the Plitvice Lakes and the Postojna Caves all of which were amazing, but our visits to Ljubljana, Hvar, Dubrovnik and Montenegro were equally as good. The hotels were of a very good standard and in most cases in good locations which made getting about in our free time very easy. The travel arrangements were at times a little challenging on the German Trains which were not very reliable but our Tour Manager did a very good job in sorting things out and getting us to Munich at the end of our first day although it was rather later than expected but there was a hot meal waiting for us which was very welcome. Overall the holiday was excellent made all the more enjoyable by a good group of travellers which we think makes all the difference.
