London to Mayrhofen by Train
Embarking on a scenic train journey from London to the Austrian Alps involves several enjoyable legs:
- Eurostar to Brussels
Start your journey at London St Pancras International and take the Eurostar to Brussels. This leg is quick and comfortable, offering snacks and Wi-Fi on board. - Intercity or Thalys to Cologne (or Amsterdam)
From Brussels, transfer to an Intercity Express (ICE) or Thalys train heading to Cologne. Note that in 2024, some routes are rerouted via Amsterdam due to engineering works around Cologne. Check schedules to ensure smooth connections. - NightJet Sleeper Train
From Cologne or Amsterdam, board the ÖBB NightJet sleeper train to Austria. This overnight journey allows you to relax in a comfortable berth and wake up refreshed in the Alps. NightJet services offer a variety of accommodation options, including couchettes and private cabins, along with breakfast service. - Transfer to Mayrhofen
Upon arriving at a station like Jenbach or Innsbruck, switch to a regional train or bus for the final leg to Mayrhofen. The picturesque Zillertalbahn train from Jenbach takes about 50 minutes and is a highlight of the trip.
This route combines sustainability with the charm of European rail travel, making it a perfect alternative to flying. Tickets should be booked early, especially for the NightJet, as they can sell out quickly during peak seasons

Full-day and multi-day ski passes are available for all the lifts in the Zillertal area.
