Zurich – Lucerne – Interlaken

On the ride from the urban centre of Switzerland to Lucerne, a gentler mountain- and hillscape dominates the scenery, with sparkling lakes in between. In Lucerne, you can conveniently transfer to the Luzern–Interlaken Express. The ride on this premium panoramic train connects two world-famous destinations. Time flies faster than one would wish – due to mountain scenery, turquoise lakes and numerous waterfalls.

Interlaken – Montreux

Starting from Interlaken, guests onboard the new GoldenPass Express first glide along Lake Thun and then through the Simmen Valley to Zweisimmen. The exclusive travel class “Prestige” sets new standards, and the travel experience rivals the breattaking views that can be enjoyed through the large windows. The panoramic train runs past magnificent castles as well as peacefully grazing cattle and finally passes the German-French language border. On the last leg, it winds down through the hills – and with the arrival at Montreux visitors become engrossed in the Mediterranean flair of the region.

Zermatt – St. Moritz

The Glacier Express travels across the Alps and connects fashionable Zermatt at the foot of the Matterhorn with the equally sophisticated St. Moritz.

St. Moritz – Tirano – Lugano

The Bernina Express inspires a sense of delight and bridges language regions as well as cultures. One highlight follows hot on the heels of the next: the sparkling Morteratsch glacier and, at 2,253 metres altitude, the Lago Bianco. 

Lugano – Bellinzona – Flüelen – Lucerne

From April through October, guests can board the Gotthard Panorama Express from the Mediterranean-style Ticino along the world-famous Gotthard panorama route. In Flüelen, travellers change from the panoramic train, with personal travel guidance, to a boat. In a leisurely fashion, the boat then glides over Lake Lucerne through the traditional Swiss heartland surrounded by imposing mountains to Lucerne. Alternatively, the Treno Gottardo along the scenic Gotthard route operates all year, taking guests to Lucerne.

Lucerne – St. Gallen

The green hillscape and mountain scenery that spread out before the high-Alpine mountain chain are full of charms. Here’s where the Voralpen-Express runs between Lucerne and St. Gallen. It starts at Lake Lucerne against the backdrop of the prominent Alpine panorama of Central Switzerland. The Voralpen-Express crosses Lake Zurich and passes Rapperswil, the city of roses. Shortly before arriving at St. Gallen, another highlight awaits: the Sitter Viaduct, with 99 metres Switzerland’s highest railway bridge.

St. Gallen – Schaffhausen – Zurich

From the history-steeped city of St. Gallen, the train winds through a pastoral hillscape towards Lake Constance and then rolls along its shoreline for 40 kilometres. Afterwards, it follows the Rhine downstream to Schaffhausen, where the Munot Fortress towers as the town’s landmark. Schaffhausen is also famous for harbouring Europe’s largest waterfalls: the Rhine Falls. After crossing the imposing railway bridge of Eglisau, the train soon arrives at Zurich, financial metropolis of Switzerland.

St. Moritz – Lugano (4 h)

O Palm Express é uma conexão alternativa entre Engadina e Ticino. Ao contrário do ônibus Bernina Express, esta conexão opera durante todos os meses do ano. No trecho de St. Moritz a Lugano, o famoso ônibus amarelo PostBus atravessa o Passo Maloja e depois desce em suaves curvas pelo Vale do Bregaglia até chegar à Itália. Esta viagem inesquecível combina geleiras e palmeiras.
