Transparency and Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: October 2026
At Alps By Rail (https://alpsbyrail.com), transparency with our readers is our highest priority. We believe in providing honest, practical, and highly detailed guides to luxury rail travel in Europe.
How We Keep Our Content Free
Alps By Rail participates in various travel affiliate marketing programs, including partnerships with official ticketing aggregators (such as Rail Europe, Omio, and Trainline) and hotel accommodation providers (such as Stay22 and Booking.com).
This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a ticket purchase or hotel reservation, we may earn a small referral commission at absolutely zero additional cost to you. In many cases, our partner links provide discounted promotional fares or consolidated timetables.
Our Promise to You
- We never accept payment to give a positive review to an inferior train carriage, noisy compartment, or overpriced luxury package.
- If a sleeper train route has frequent delays, inadequate luggage space, or poor breakfast service, we state it clearly in our review.
- Our affiliate partnerships support the ongoing hosting, research, photography, and timetable monitoring required to maintain this free travel resource.
If you have any questions regarding our affiliate relationships, please feel free to contact us.
