Paris to Venice and Vienna via the Alps

6-day Alpine rail trip from Paris to Vienna via Venice

Railbookers operates this 6-day, 5-night independent rail package running from Paris to Vienna, with stops in Lausanne and Venice along the way. After Paris, the route reaches Lausanne, on the shore of Lake Geneva, described as offering lakeside tranquility. From there the train crosses the snow-capped Alps on the way to Venice, a city the description calls a labyrinth of canals, bridges, and small squares. The trip then finishes in Vienna, Austria's capital, though the operator's own description cuts off mid-sentence while introducing the city, leaving its Vienna details incomplete. Because this is an independent rail package, Railbookers arranges the trains and hotels between these four cities without a guide managing the days in between. It suits travelers who want a compact, scenery-driven route through the Alps, linking a French, a Swiss, an Italian, and an Austrian city in less than a week.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary or hotel names for this package; confirm details with them before booking.
  • This package's own description cuts off mid-sentence while introducing Vienna, so the Vienna portion of the trip is incompletely described; confirm those details with Railbookers before booking.
