** Alps Help **

  1. Hi,

    I'm looking at options of getting a couple of cars to the ALPS (ISH). Probably Austria.

    Basically I am attempting to avoid 12 hours of motorways.

    Does anyone have any ideas? I know Car-Trains used to be a thing?? not sure if they still are? it certainly sounds appealing having a snooze and a booze...


    Thanks in advance,
     
  2. Make it a road trip. Loads of fun to be had :)

  3. That is a thought but the first 6-8 hours is mostly crap roads. Would rather avoid it if I can mate
     
  4. Take hookers with you :upyeah:

  5. We are all in two seaters. Won't be enough room sadly.
     
  6. I know you Kent lot still point at planes, but passengers are carried in them. Gatwick, Heathrow or if you really must Stanstead. A pilot is provided too.:)

  8. Car transporter drives over all the cars and the couples fly in a plane ffs, I can’t plan the whole jaunt for you. Unless I’m rewarded or remunerated in some way my times valuable as I is well old. :)

  11. Dusseldorf to Innsbruck is the train you are looking for.
    Best ferries -depending on where you are- might be Harwich Amsterdam arriving 08.00am and 150 miles drive to Dusseldorf. Calais is 250 miles from Dusseldorf so not much in it really...

  16. Thanks. Need a lot of two seaters for that lot. Alpine rugby, bet that’s a rough sport. All very confusing:)

  18. The car trains between Düsseldorf and Innsbruck are AutoZug, the tickets were sold by several companies, but several no longer offer that route. Urlaubs Express were selling tickets a few weeks ago.
