Travelling to the Alps by motorbike on a car-carrying train
The comfortable way to the Alps - with and without your own motorbike
The motorail train is also one of the most convenient means of transport for motorcyclists travelling long distances, e.g. from the north of Germany to the south or to Austria and Italy. Or from the east of Austria to Italy. Trains usually run at night, so you can spend your journey to the Alps relaxing in a couchette or sleeper carriage. The next morning, you will reach your destination in "MoHo country" rested and ready to enjoy your motorbike holiday from the very first kilometre.
During the motorbike season, there is once again an extensive range of connections on offer - and in very attractive conditions! We have summarised the most important information for you so that you can spend your journey comfortably on the train and not on the handlebars.
Motorail trains in & around the "MoHo country"
Of course, you can also travel comfortably overnight on the car trains and night trains without bringing your own vehicle and choose your departure point and destination - regardless of the loading stations - from the regular stopovers.
For example, from Hamburg via Hanover or Düsseldorf via Cologne with the ÖBB Nightjet to Innsbruck, where your hire bike will be waiting for you nearby at a special MoHo price. Click here for bike hire.
