The train journey between Innsbruck and Verona is one of the most incredible in Europe, but sit on the right of the train (when facing the direction of travel) to see the best of the stunning views.
Though the most fantastic part of the journey is the initial 35 mins between Innsbruck and the border at Brennero.
in winter
in summer
Though the fabulous views continue after the train exits the Brenner Tunnel and begins to travel through Italy.
Between Brennero and Verona the railway route primarily travels through a massive valley, by the River Adige and on this part of the journey, there are some great views to be had from either side of the train.
