Travelling can be so easy
Train, bus, boat and mountain railways take travellers wherever they please – comfortably and to the minute. That’s because in Switzerland all public means of transportation are perfectly synchronised. With onboard restaurants, catering to the seat and luggage services, guests enjoy a carefree journey. Travelling by public transport in Switzerland is not only easy but also diverse, even spectacular. Panoramic trains take passengers on a ride through pristine nature, past impressive glaciers and through deep ravines. Those who look for even more exceptional experiences may dine in the panoramic cabin of a cableway called the “restaurant in the sky” or take a ride on the world’s steepest cog railway.

Discover all sights and landmarks Switzerland has to offer from the comfort of the train. The Grand Train Tour of Switzerland merges the most beautiful panoramic lines into one unique route of 1,280 kilometres in length. There is no prescribed direction or duration. You can hop on and off wherever you please. Whether at Zermatt or St. Moritz, in the Canton of Ticino or the Lavaux, at the Rhine Falls or Lake Lucerne: The Grand Train Tour of Switzerland is a perfect starting point for excursions as well.

Swiss Travel Pass & Swiss Family Card
The Swiss Travel Pass is the key to trouble-free travel by public transport throughout Switzerland.

In the meantime, with Swiss Family Card by Swiss Travel System, children up to their 16th birthday can travel free of charge by public transport.

Comfortable travel without luggage
With the innovative and efficient public transport system operating in Switzerland, international visitors can have their luggage transported by train direct to their holiday destination immediately after landing at either Zurich or Geneva Airport. There is no need to waste time waiting for their luggage. A similar service operates when visitors return home at their end of their Swiss stay.

This is particularly advantageous on round-trips such as the Grand Train Tour of Switzerland. A wide range of options are available – simple solutions for maximum comfort and convenience.
