As travellers seek eco-friendly alternatives to flying, train travel is enjoying a revival. The growing demand for scenic, leisurely journeys, opulent rail services, and new night trains redefines slow travel, blending nostalgia with sustainability. Trains are not just about getting to your destination, though, they\u2019re a part of the trip. You\u2019re on holiday from the moment you set up thanks to great views, comfy seats or beds and delicious food.<\/p>\n<p>With the introduction of flexible and affordable rail passes and more ticket options than ever before, trains are getting closer to becoming as economical as flights. European rail travel, in particular, has seen a surge in interest, driven by eco-conscious Gen Z and Millennials prioritising sustainable, hassle-free journeys.<\/p>\n<p>While flying remains popular, booking website Rail Europe reports a shift towards greener, more relaxed travel options. \u201cTrains offer a smoother experience compared to flying\u2014you can board quickly, avoid baggage limits, and enjoy a stress-free journey,\u201d says Rail Europe CEO Bj\u00f6rn Bender. He highlights night trains\u2019 appeal for solo travellers, who value \u201csavings on hotels and travel time,\u201d while families and older travellers appreciate their comfort and convenience.<\/p>\n<p>Leisure remains the top reason for rail travel, with a rise in longer, scenic trips. \u201cRoutes through areas of natural beauty, like Switzerland, are attracting those seeking more than just a point A to B journey,\u201d Bender explains. Looking ahead, Rail Europe is focusing on making train travel simpler and more accessible. \u201cTransparency in pricing and ease of booking are key demands we\u2019re addressing,\u201d he adds. New night train services and more scenic routes are standout options, catering to practicality and a desire for slower, more sustainable travel.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2025\/01\/12\/from-the-swiss-alps-to-the-rocky-mountains-these-are-the-worlds-most-incredible-train-jour\">Here are some of the best rail journeys for 2025.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2025\/01\/12\/from-the-swiss-alps-to-the-rocky-mountains-these-are-the-worlds-most-incredible-train-jour\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/from-the-swiss-alps-to-the-rocky-mountains-these-are-the-worlds-most-incredible-train-journeys\/\">From the Swiss Alps to the Rocky Mountains, these are the world\u2019s most incredible train journeys<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,696,17549],"class_list":["post-136470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-europe","tag-rail-journey"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136470\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
