Special Features
The spectacular line stretches from the Tyrolian town of Landeck, via Langen am Arlberg (1217 m / 3993 feet above sea-level) to Bludenz in Vorarlberg. With a maximum gradient of 31‰ (3,1m/100m) the Arlberg line is one of the steepest railway lines, on which there is regular passenger- and goods traffic. Especially impressive buildings are the „Trisanna-Bridge” in Tyrol near castle Wiesberg, which accentuates with a length of 211 m (692 feet) and a height of 87 m (286 feet) the Paznaunvalley and the „Arlbergtunnel” with a length of 10250 m (6,4 miles).
Trains run daily all-year and offer 1st and 2nd class coaches as well as dining cars.
