1 trips foundUnique rail tours to remote destinations
Small independent hotels near the station or ferry port
Reserved seats wherever possible (window seats!)
Rail journeys to the "edge of the world": from remote Norwegian islands and Scotland's Shetland and Orkney Islands to the peaceful landscapes of Appenzellerland in Switzerland.
These rail tours take you to places where the world feels quieter, the landscapes become wilder and life naturally slows down. They are designed for travellers who deliberately choose destinations beyond the usual tourist routes. Travel to the edge of Europe without stress, following a carefully planned itinerary with personal support throughout your journey.
Unique Rail Tours, Carefully Planned
Rail travel from any UK railway station is included. Wherever possible, we reserve seats (window seats!) so you can relax and enjoy the longer journeys. Stay in small independent hotels or lodges within walking distance of the station, often run by local owners with a strong connection to the surrounding area. Every itinerary is carefully balanced, combining longer travel days with time to explore, so you can truly experience these remote destinations.
Fully Organised Rail Tours
HappyRail has specialised in fully organised rail tours across Europe and beyond since 2002. Even when travelling to remote destinations, we take care of every practical detail. Routes, connections, hotels and special rail fares are arranged in advance, leaving you free to enjoy the journey itself. These rail tours are ideal for travellers who want to discover extraordinary places without having to plan complex itineraries.
