The scenic link between Montreux and Lucerne is made up of multiple routes. Unlike most trains, a journey across these touch points of Switzerland via the Golden Pass requires travellers to change trains at Interlaken and Zweisimmen. Since the train is not a direct one, the pace of travel is relatively slower, thereby accentuating the beauty of the Swiss highlands. Being an ideal portrayal of Switzerland’s hypnotic landscape, the train gives a divine view of lakes of Bernese Oberland, Gstaad, Simmen Valley, Lake Geneva. The state of the art panoramic coaches add a new dimension to this prolific train journey.
