Imagine feeling the wind rushing through your hair, having that epic scenery within touching distance and feeling as though you were standing out there on the plains taking in the awesome sights. Well, that's what our open air viewing carriage was especially designed for.
The outdoor viewing carriage also provides uninterrupted views making the ideal spot for some amazing photos.
If you're travelling during the winter months be sure to pack a coat and hat as it can get a little chilly, especially in the alpine regions.
