Switzerland’s numerous panoramic trains delight their guests with captivating scenery slowly passing by. From canyons with wildly plunging glacier water to high Alpine peaks with eternal snow, from pristine mountain valleys to Mediterranean lakes with palmlined shores: Travellers enjoy the views through high panoramic windows reaching far up to the ceiling.

Passengers probably wouldn’t be tempted to step off the train at all – if it weren’t for those mountain railways at almost every station, luring them to Alpine and pre-Alpine summits to savour spectacular vistas.
