Mountains of Austria and Switzerland

Independent rail circuit through Munich, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Lucerne and Zurich

Railbookers operates this independent rail package running 11 days and 10 nights across three countries, linking Munich, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Lucerne and Zurich by what the operator describes as efficient train connections. The route opens with the Bavarian charm of Munich, then moves to Salzburg for its musical heritage and on to Innsbruck for its alpine setting. In Switzerland, the trip takes in views from Mount Pilatus, associated in the material we have with Lucerne, and the majestic Jungfrau, associated with Zurich. Because it is independent rather than escorted, travelers move between these five cities on their own schedule rather than as part of a guided group. It suits travelers who want a longer, multi-country rail circuit through the Alps that mixes city culture with mountain scenery.
