Intro

The GoldenPass Express redefines the travel experience between Interlaken and Montreux.

Seamless travel experience

The GoldenPass Express provides a seamless and even more comfortable travel experience on one of Switzerland’s most picturesque train routes. The panoramic train will connect Interlaken with Montreux up to four times a day, offering uninterrupted views of the breathtaking panorama.

Prestige

The travel class “Prestige” is the centrepiece of the train. It offers everything you would expect from an unforgettable train journey: plenty of privacy, maximum comfort in a small compartment, and an exceptional culinary offering.

Make yourself comfortable on the luxurious and heated leather seats, which can be rotated 180 degrees upon request. The travel class is also elevated by 40 cm compared to the other travel classes, offering you an even better view of the fascinating scenery.

Culinary delights on the GoldenPass Express

Local and international delicacies can be ordered in advance, ensuring a perfect start to an exciting journey. For example, how about a glass of champagne and a portion of the finest caviar from Frutigen in Switzerland?

If you prefer to pamper your palate with regional delicacies, you won’t be disappointed with a traditional apéro-plate or a vegetarian alternative. While champagne and caviar are served exclusively in “Prestige” and 1st class, you can enjoy selected dishes from the small but exquisite menu in all travel classes.

World-famous places, three regions

The journey on the GoldenPass Express is like a foray through Switzerland. The trip starts in picturesque Interlaken and continues via Gstaad, Château-d’Oex and Montbovon to Montreux, the journey’s final stop. Of course, you can also start your trip in Montreux.

Interlaken is a great base for numerous activities and boasts incredible views of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Luxurious Gstaad is known for its charming chalets and is a favourite holiday spot among stars and winter sports enthusiasts alike. Château-d’Oex is known for its hot air balloons and, with a little luck, you might spot one aloft. Montreux, of course, is home to the annual Montreux Jazz Festival.

 

Swissness

The GoldenPass Express is a world-first and a Swiss masterstroke. After all, the idea of connecting Interlaken and Montreux without needing to change trains originated more than 100 years ago. The project never materialised, however, because of the different track gauges of the respective sections of the line. But this seemingly impossible challenge could now be solved by an ingenious invention: adjustable bogies.

Reservations and surcharges

Due to limited seating capacity, reservations are mandatory in “Prestige” (CHF 49) and strongly recommended for 1st and 2nd class travel. This is in addition to a valid ticket for the selected travel class.

The only thing you might find disappointing? The entire trip lasts just 3 hours 15 minutes. With those stunning views and unrivalled comfort, the journey is just as spectacular as the destination.

 

Swiss Travel Pass

This route is fully included in the Swiss Travel Pass (Flex) / GA Travelcard, though seat reservations must be paid for separately.
