The vacation begins during the journey: passengers can look forward to a relaxed atmosphere on board the Urlaubs-Express. Over a cozy drink at the train bar or in a cozy compartment – the night flies by while the train rolls quietly through the winter landscape. Depending on the route and personal preferences, passengers can choose between comfortable sleeping cars or cheaper couchette coaches – ideal for a relaxing start to your vacation at your destination.

The list of winter sports resorts served is impressive: The UEX stops in such places as Jenbach, Innsbruck, Ötztal, Landeck, St. Anton am Arlberg, Kitzbühel, Zell am See, St. Johann im Pongau and Schladming. This means the train calls at some of the most popular ski areas in Tyrol and Salzburg – perfect for beginners, intermediate and professionals.
