Famous panoramic trains featured in our Switzerland rail tours
Glacier Express
Known as the world's slowest express train, the Glacier Express travels between Zermatt and St. Moritz, or vice versa, crossing 291 bridges, passing through 91 tunnels and climbing over the 2,033-metre Oberalp Pass. Panoramic coaches offer uninterrupted views of rugged mountain scenery, deep gorges and snow-covered peaks. An optional Swiss meal can be served at your seat during the journey.
Bernina Express
The bright red Bernina Express runs from Chur or St. Moritz to Tirano in Italy and is widely regarded as one of the world's most beautiful railway journeys. The train climbs to more than 2,200 metres across the Albula and Bernina Passes before descending into the Italian Alps. The route is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers spectacular scenery from beginning to end.
GoldenPass Line / GoldenPass Express
From Montreux, the GoldenPass Line climbs gently alongside Lake Geneva before heading deeper into the Alps. Travelling on narrow-gauge tracks, the route reaches Zweisimmen, with onward connections to Interlaken and Lucerne. The new GoldenPass Express links these routes even more seamlessly, combining modern comfort with classic Swiss railway charm.
Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe
Accessible only by train, the Jungfraujoch is one of the highlights of any Switzerland rail holiday. Travelling by cogwheel railway from the Bernese Oberland, you'll reach an altitude of 3,463 metres between the Eiger and Mönch mountains. Along the way, the train stops at a viewpoint inside the Eiger itself. Glaciers, permanent snow and breathtaking Alpine scenery make this one of the world's most remarkable rail journeys.
Why explore Switzerland by train?
- Outstanding public transport with seamless connections
- Spectacular scenery best experienced by train
- Comfortable, sustainable and stress-free travel
- Perfect for travellers who want to see as much as possible
