Board Europe’s highest, steepest and most panoramic railways on a luxury Switzerland train tour
The incredibly scenic country of Switzerland offers some of the best luxury train travel in Europe – and perhaps the world. Much more than just transport, panoramic trains in Switzerland are a low impact way to discover the country – and its breathtaking panoramic views – at a slower pace.
The country’s iconic railways weave through impossible mountain terrain with precision engineering, crossing spectacular viaducts and traversing bridges and tunnels, linking Alpine villages, resorts and cities, while you sit back in comfort.
Your bespoke grand tour of Switzerland will be seamless, with our experts taking care of all the finer details. Visit Gstaad and Ticino, or Zermatt and St. Moritz, choosing a luxury seat or private compartment and with transfers, experiences and the best luxury accommodation woven into your itinerary. Outdoor activities personalised to you can added to any rail tour, whether that’s tackling a glacier hike or taking a gentle stroll in Alpine scenery, enjoying a private city tour, or visiting a local wine producer. Ask your travel designer to include a stop at Jungfraujoch glacial pass, home to Europe’s highest railway station and one of the world’s highest astronomical observatories.
Our example trips showcase a range of authentic, captivating and beautiful Swiss locations, and the panoramic Glacier Express, Jungfrau train, Gornergrat Railway and Bernina Express which link them.
