Rail Europe has teamed up with top travel journalist and rail expert Anthony Lambert to produce its guide to the best scenic rail routes in Europe. Anthony has chosen his ten favourite journeys covering countries including Norway, France, Slovenia and Italy.

Travelling by train to the Alps is now the journey of choice for thousands of skiers and boarders every season. Convenient, easy and great value — rail and train transports you to the heart of the slopes in complete comfort and great time. Because you arrive first thing on Saturday and depart last thing the following Saturday, the train gives you maximum time on the slopes.
