“Our new map sets out the Alpine rail network as you’ve never seen it before - clear and comprehensive with more travel options than you can shake a ski pole at. Increasingly, winter sports adventurers are voting with their ski-boot clad feet, leaving the car behind and deciding to arrive in style after a relaxing and carbon-friendly train journey through the magical Alpine landscape for a transfer that becomes a holiday highlight in its own right.”
