Detailed map showing the position of over 440 ski resorts across the Alps, and how to reach them.

Charting the position of over 440 resorts across the entire Alpine region, from Lyon to Ljubljana and Milan to Munich, this clear and detailed winter-sports map is the first to focus specifically on rail routes through the Alps, enabling travellers to plan their journeys to winter sports resorts by train from throughout Europe as well as from Alpine airports.

Rail is becoming an increasingly popular choice for people travelling across, and to, the Alps. It offers a much more pleasant alternative to the conventional flight-and-coach combination, and imposes a greatly reduced carbon footprint compared with road and air-based alternatives.
