Austrian Alps Train Tour

Your Austrian adventure starts in Innsbruck, the heart of the Alps. This city combines urban and outdoor life seamlessly. Explore the charming Old Town with its Golden Roof, walk along the Inn River, and if you arrive early enough, take the Nordkette Cable Car for stunning views of the city framed by towering peaks. 

For today, we suggest a car rental or a tourist bus as it will give you the opportunity to explore the Grossglockner High Alpine Road at your own pace. With its many attractions, such as Edelweissspitze with 360° panorama, exhibitions at the “Oberes Nassfeld” and the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe, a vantage station visited by the emperor, with incredible views of the majestic Grossglockner. Return the car to Innsbruck where you’ll spend the night.

Train enthusiasts will satisfy their inner child today as you take a historic steam train along the historic Zillertal Rail. Hop on a train to Jenbach, the village from which you’ll take a 32 km trip back in time. The sounds of the rails, the smell of coal and beautiful landscapes will undoubtedly steal your heart. The steam train journey ends in the charming Mayrhofen, a village nestled at the head of the valley. From here, you can take a cable car up to the stunning peaks and return to Innsbruck with a local train.

Today, a local train will be your means of transport as you head on through valleys to the gorgeous Lake Zell. The beautiful lakeside town of Zell am See is the perfect place to enjoy a drink and relax, taking in the serene Alpine charm. Take a cruise across the sapphire-blue lake, stroll the lakefront promenade, sample some traditional Austrian cuisine or visit the Vogtturm museum to catch a glimpse of the town’s past. A train will take you back to Innsbruck where you can enjoy one final dinner in the embrace of the Austrian Alps.

Your tour concludes where it began – spend your remaining time revisiting your favourite spots, stop for a coffee at one of the charming cafés and reflect on your journey before finally waving goodbye to Alpine peaks.
