COACHES ARE NOT HEATED.

Wildlife sightings are common, so a camera with a zoom lens will help capture distant animals and scenic views.
Temperatures can change quickly aboard the train, especially in open-air gondola cars, so wear layers for comfort.
Weather in the mountains can be unpredictable. Monitor forecasts to prepare appropriately for your trip.
