Your train rides include some of the following: scenic routes, panoramic cars, double decker trains, tilting trains, ICE fast trains, cog wheel, funicular, trams and cable cars, electric trains, steam engines, bus, boats, and even horse and buggy rides!
Sights and Scenery
In a letter to his mother in 1842, the great German composer Mendelssohn wrote:
Visit famous Old World cities where you can shop, visit museums, and see stunning architecture. Visit some of the most famous castles in the world, like the Castle of Gruyeres, Oberhofen Castle, Neuschwanstein and Hoenschwangau.
Experience the thrill of stopping high in the Alps at a small rail station with rustic alpine chalets, their window boxes ablaze with vibrant colored flowers in full bloom. Waterfalls, lakes and 900 year old forests of greens, reds, oranges, yellows and rust, dot the rolling landscape.
Rail Pass
Your included Swiss Rail Pass entitles you to unlimited trips on the entire network of the Swiss Travel System covering almost 14,000 miles of railways, lake steamers, funiculars, and postal bus routes as well as the urban transit systems in many Swiss cities.
