Arlberg railway, railway line
Description
The Arlberg railway is a railway line that crosses the Alps through Austrian Tyrol and Vorarlberg. The line connects the Ötztal region in the east with Vorarlberg in the west, negotiating significant elevation changes by means of tunnels and viaducts.
History
The railway was built in the 19th century to create a vital connection across the Alps. It played a key role in developing and opening up the mountain regions on both sides of the route.
Practical
The line offers regular train services with seating and lounge areas. Passengers should expect winding tracks and changing elevations, which may be relevant for those sensitive to altitude changes.
Did you know?
The line is considered one of the most technically challenging railway connections of its era, requiring innovative tunnel-building solutions. Several tunnels cut directly through the mountain while viaducts span deep valleys.
