First and Excellence Class on the great alpine lines. Luggage handled door to door in Switzerland, and private station pick-ups with baggage support right across Central Europe.
Good to know
The great alpine lines include Switzerland's Glacier Express and Bernina Express, and Avellera's Europe's Most scenic railways puts you on them in First or Excellence Class. Luggage is handled door to door in Switzerland, so you travel with only a day bag. Avellera builds the rail days into a tailor-made journey through Switzerland and Central Europe.
Not with Europe's Most scenic railways. Avellera arranges luggage handling door to door in Switzerland, so your bags travel separately from hotel to hotel. Elsewhere in Central Europe, private station pick-ups with baggage support meet you at the platform. The service is available all year as part of a tailor-made Avellera journey.

33An imperial-era carriage chartered for your party, with the dining car set and the route your own. It leaves when you do, and stops where you decide.

35A Porsche for your days in Germany, and a booked session on the Nürburgring if you want the real thing. Otherwise just the autobahn, and a stretch with no number on the sign.
