Switzerland by Train: The Grand Train Tour Itinerary
Forget the car. Switzerland has the best rail network on earth. Here is how to see the Alps through panoramic windows.
The Swiss Travel Pass is your golden ticket. It covers trains, boats, buses, and even some mountain cable cars.
The Glacier Express: The Slowest Express Train
St. Moritz to Zermatt. 8 hours of panoramic glass roofs, gourmet food, and crossing 291 bridges. It's the ultimate relaxing day.
Jungfraujoch: Top of Europe
A cogwheel train takes you to the highest railway station in Europe (3,454m). The views of the Aletsch Glacier are life-changing.
**Hack:** Sit on the right-hand side of the train when traveling from Zurich to Lucerne for the best lake views.
