Switzerland's iconic railways

Switzerland is celebrated for its efficient and picturesque railway system, with several iconic routes offering unforgettable journeys. The Glacier Express, a legendary panoramic train ride, seamlessly connects Zermatt and St. Moritz, traversing the majestic Alps and crossing 291 bridges and 91 tunnels. Meanwhile, the Jungfrau Express transports passengers to the awe-inspiring Jungfraujoch, known as the 'Top of Europe,' where breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks await.

For those seeking a more leisurely experience, the GoldenPass Line weaves its way through charming Swiss villages, linking Montreux to Lucerne and treating passengers to a visual feast of diverse landscapes. The Bernina Express, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage route, navigates the scenic Alps and traverses the remarkable Landwasser Viaduct.
