A richer way to understand the destination.
Discover a different side of France through mountain railways and preserved trains. These scenic and heritage outings complement a hotel-based holiday; they are not substitutes for an overnight luxury sleeper.
A well-chosen rail journey can become the centerpiece of a wider holiday. Consider the season, route direction, service class and comfortable time before and after boarding. Email our travel specialists with your priorities and we will help shape a journey that feels complete rather than simply assembled.
When to consider traveling
Seasonality shapes the journey.
Confirm the operating calendar, weather conditions and connection from your hotel for the particular railway.

This scenic journey follows Martigny – Vallorcine – Chamonix – Saint-Gervais-les-Bains Le Fayet and centres on cross-border alps. The route leaves Martigny for the steep-sided Trient valley before reaching the border area and the Chamonix valley.

Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.

Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.
