Journey Features
Good to Know
The base station of the lifts up to the Planai mountain is under 10 mins walk from Schladming rail station.
Turn right when you reach the road on the other side of the car park in front of the station and cross the wooden bridge, which you'll see on the left.
Trust us, despite the lack of images, this is one of Austria's most scenic long distance train journeys.
As the train heads south from Salzburg to Bischofshofen, it travels through a spectacular river valley.
Then from Bischofshofen, virtually all the way to Schladming the train travels through a series of alpine valleys, with mountain views from both sides of the train.
Why don't we have any images? Well on our most recent travel itinerary, we travelled to Austria mainly so that we could take this journey, but a storm blew in on the day, so there was nothing to see except raindrops.
