Our inaugural holiday was The Harz Mountains Belle in May 2025, when we offered passengers the chance to travel across Germany on the mainline by private charter train, staying overnight at some of its finest cities and towns as well as the beautiful Harz Mountains region.
​
We are now accepting bookings for our next railtour, The Alpine Belle 2026, a nine day holiday by train visiting the German and Austrian Alps. Find out more here.

Future Tours
With the Harz Mountains Belle and Alpine Belle setting the scene for the future, Belle Trains will be looking to provide forthcoming railway holidays across the European mainland as well as Ireland.

We also plan to explore further afield within the next few years, including the ‘Kiwi Explorer’ - an incredible three week railtour of the North and South islands of New Zealand with over a thousand miles of steam hauled train travel.
