Appenzell Railways (Eastern Switzerland / Liechtenstein)
The Appenzell Railways connect the main towns of this charming area, such as St. Gallen with its Abbey Library, Appenzell with its Tudor-style houses, more than a thousand-year-old Herisau and Gossau, dominated by its 13th century castle Oberberg.
Aqualino (Graubünden)
The scenic train Aqualino brings closer one of Switzerland's most beautiful areas.
Bern - Emmental - Entlebuch - Luzern (Central Switzerland)
The BLS RegioExpress will bring you to one of Switzerland's most original areas.
Bernina Express (Graubünden)
It connects Chur in the canton of Graubünden with Tirano in the Italian Veltlin, via the Bernina Pass. It offers the most beautiful connection from the cool north to the temperate south. And the most remarkable fact here: along its route, the red train climbs to 2253 metres above sea level, where glaciers lie.
Engadine Star (Graubünden)
Enjoy the wonderful panorama from the comfort of your seat on this two-hour-train ride.
GoldenPass Line
Two languages, three worlds, six lakes, one line: That’s the GoldenPass Line. In Montreux, palm trees and southern ambience still prevail along the "Swiss Riviera". French peppers the air. The golden panorama train squeezes through vineyards and gardens on its ascent, one last glimpse back at Lake Geneva,
a tunnel …
Intragna (Ticino)
Take the Centovalli train to Verdasio. A very steep aerial cable-car connects Verdasio to the car-free hamlet of Rasa.
Jura Railways (Neuchâtel / Jura / Bernese Jura)
Discover off-the-beaten track Switzerland with its undulating hills dotted with horse farms.
Luzern - Lugano (Central Switzerland)
Fast is certainly what this "Express" is not. But it makes up for it by being first class, through and through. In Lucerne, you’ll be welcomed aboard the first-class upper deck of an historic paddlewheel steamer, complete with an elegant saloon. Two and three-quarter cruising hours later, and after a lunch in the onboard restaurant, you’ll transfer to a similarly first-class panorama coach of the Gotthard Railway which will take you to Locarno in Ticino.
Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (Valais)
From Göschenen, the trip leads through the wild Schöllenen gorge up to Andermatt. Or how about beginning in Disentis and continuing your ride via the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn towards Andermatt, crossing the Oberalp Pass (2,033 m ü.M., 6,709 ft.a.sl.) and along Lake Oberalp making wide curves all the way to Andermatt.
