Christmas in Vorarlberg & the Arosa Line Railway

Eight-day Christmas escape to Austrian Vorarlberg with the Arosa Line Railway

Illustration of Christmas in Vorarlberg & the Arosa Line Railway

Leger Holidays runs this eight-day escorted tour departing December 21, offering a Christmas stay in Austria's Vorarlberg region centred on the Weisses Kreuz Hotel in Feldkirch. The package combines daily coach excursions into neighbouring Switzerland, Germany, and Liechtenstein with one starred rail journey: on Christmas Day, you board the Arosa Line Railway to climb from Chur into the mountains, crossing the Langwieser Viaduct on arrival at the resort of Arosa. The itinerary balances city exploration (St. Gallen's Advent-lit old town, Konstanz's Romanesque cathedral, Feldkirch's medieval streets, Liechtenstein's capital Vaduz) with a stable five-night hotel base, evening meals with entertainment and drinks, and local departure points for UK-based travellers. The escorted format and inclusive meals suit couples and groups seeking a guided holiday without planning logistics.

What to know before you look closer

  • Most nights are spent in the same Feldkirch hotel; only days 1 and 7 use unnamed overnight hotels during the coach journey to and from the UK.
  • The tour operates once per year in late December; confirm availability and booking deadlines with Leger Holidays well in advance.
  • A substantial portion of the trip is by coach; the Arosa Line Railway is the sole dedicated train journey.
