Luzern – Interlaken – Zweisimmen – Montreux

From Lake Lucerne, the

train climbs over the Brünig

Pass, hugs the shore of

Lake Brienz and makes a

welcome stop at Interlaken

before heading on to

dazzling Lake Thun and

through the Simmen Valley

to Zweisimmen. From here, the GoldenPass Line

continues its panoramic journey to Montreux on

the shores of Lake Geneva.

Zermatt – St. Moritz

Welcome aboard the Glacier

Express – the train that has

been dubbed “the slowest

express train in the world”.

Savour the breath-taking

beauty of Swiss Alpine

landscapes while enjoying

modern conveniences and

first-class service. The 8-hour-journey from Zermatt

to fashionable St. Moritz negotiates 91 tunnels,

traverses more than 291 bridges and crosses the

2,033 meters high Oberalp mountain pass.

St. Moritz – Tirano (Italy) – Lugano

From the Engadin, the

bright-red Bernina Express

train winds its way up to

the Bernina mountain pass

and then steeply down the

Val Poschiavo towards the

Italian-speaking Valtellina

region. In summer (14 April –

29 October), the journey can be extended from

the Tirano terminus to Lugano aboard the Bernina

Express Bus. From St. Moritz, the Palm Express

Bus ascends the scenic Oberengadin valley with

its quaint villages towards the Maloja mountain

pass and down Val Bregaglia towards Lake Como

and Lugano – a year-round service.

Lugano – Bellinzona – Flüelen – Luzern

Settle comfortably back into

your 1st class seat in an

SBB panoramic carriage

and relish the journey from

Lugano to Flüelen on the

legendary Gotthard train

route with its numerous loop

tunnels. From Flüelen, a his-

toric paddle steamer takes you across Lake Lucerne.

Savour the spectacular views of Central Switzerland

over a delicious meal in the onboard restaurant!
