Even a simple commuter train from Interlaken to Grindelwald offers jaw-dropping views that are breathtaking. Luxury train rides in Switzerland only enhance the view with fine dining, a host of convenient in-carriage amenities, and the opportunity to see Switzerland\u2019s mountain peaks, gorges, forests, and valleys in a way no other mode of transportation can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From quick day trips to towns you\u2019ve never heard of to day-long excursions that allow you to sit back and spend your vacation in a state of bliss, at least one of these luxury train rides in Switzerland should be on your bucket list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/timeless-beauty-switzerland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Swiss connection:<\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Roger Federer, Trevor Noah and the timeless beauty of Switzerland<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transalpin Express<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10672 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2.-switzerland-2356845_1280.jpeg\" alt=\"Closeup of the transalpine express on platform with mountains in background\" width=\"1280\" height=\"870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2.-switzerland-2356845_1280.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2.-switzerland-2356845_1280-300x204.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2.-switzerland-2356845_1280-1024x696.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2.-switzerland-2356845_1280-768x522.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Route: Zurich, Switzerland to Graz Austria\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Europe\u2019s extensive rail network means you can explore countless landscapes in a matter of hours. The Transalpin Express may not limit itself to Switzerland, but this nine-hour journey through three countries gives you a glimpse into how the Swiss Alps compare to the Austrian Alps. It has a panorama carriage for maximum views, and unlike some other luxury train rides in Switzerland, the Transalpin Express is all about the Alps. Plus, you\u2019ll ride through Sargans, Buchs, and then over the River Rhine, granting even well-ridden Swiss travelers a view that they likely haven\u2019t yet seen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/majestic-switzerland-through-the-lens-of-a-traveling-concierge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Experience it:<\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Majestic Switzerland through the lens of a Traveling Concierge<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Vigezzina &#8211; Centovalli Railway<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10673 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3.-little-train-7570666_1280.jpeg\" alt=\"The Centovalli Railway train on track with autumnal trees in background\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3.-little-train-7570666_1280.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3.-little-train-7570666_1280-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3.-little-train-7570666_1280-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3.-little-train-7570666_1280-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3.-little-train-7570666_1280-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3.-little-train-7570666_1280-255x170.jpeg 255w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3.-little-train-7570666_1280-345x230.jpeg 345w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Route: Locarno, Switzerland, to Domodossola, Italy<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all of the best train rides in Switzerland take you beyond the border, but the Vigezzina-Centovalli Railway does. Also known as the Centovalli Express, this route was designed for nature lovers. The narrow-gauge railroad powers along through thick forests, rugged cliffs, dark green slopes, and cascading waterfalls. Best of all, it\u2019s only a two-hour adventure, making it an effortless day trip for those who want a spectacular train ride and to add a little Italian stopover to their Swiss vacation schedule.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gotthard Panorama Express<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10674\" style=\"width: 1450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10674\" class=\"wp-image-10674 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/4-gotthardpanoramaexpress-.jpeg\" alt=\"The Gotthard Panorama Express train travelling through town with mountains in background\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/4-gotthardpanoramaexpress-.jpeg 1440w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/4-gotthardpanoramaexpress--300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/4-gotthardpanoramaexpress--1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/4-gotthardpanoramaexpress--768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/4-gotthardpanoramaexpress--1320x1320.jpeg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10674\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gotthardpanoramaexpress\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@gotthardpanoramaexpress<\/a> on Instagram<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Route: Lucerne to Lugano<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Envision the Gotthard Panorama Express as an attempt to window-shop Switzerland. This popular rail line puts two of Switzerland\u2019s prettiest places front and center: the Italian Ticino and Central Switzerland. It\u2019s a route that operates daily, including with standard commuter trains, so it\u2019s accessible even for those with tight itineraries. Traveling through the 19th century Gotthard Tunnel is especially exciting, but perhaps the element of this near-six-hour excursion that really pushes it into icon territory is the included boat ride between Lucerne and Fl\u00fcelen. As you can imagine,theGotthard Panorama Express route would be quite chilly in the winter, so while it does cease operations when the temperatures drop, you can still tackle the Gotthard panorama route via the Treno Gottardo in the winter months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/visit-le-montreux-palace-switzerland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b><i>Read next:<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 7 reasons to visit Le Montreux Palace in Switzerland<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jungfrau Railway\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11271 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/patrick-robert-doyle-r7l8bJXJiVg-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"A photographer taking photos of the Jungfrau train.
