The Alps by Rail

Glacier expresses, lake-town mornings, and mountain air that makes everything taste better.

The most beautiful train set in the world.

Switzerland is the trip where the journey really is the point. The trains are an attraction in themselves — panoramic carriages climbing past glaciers, hanging valleys, and villages that look hand-painted — and they connect a string of lake towns that each deserve a slow morning.

It’s a favorite for couples and for multigenerational trips, because everyone can find their pace: a cable car to a summit for some, a lakeside terrace and a long lunch for others. I time the scenic rail legs to the best light and handle every connection, so you just find your seat and watch.

A Few of the Moments

What We'd Weave In

A Scenic Rail Journey

The Glacier Express or the Bernina line — hours of the Alps at their most theatrical, from a seat by the window with lunch on the way.

Up to the Top of Europe

A cog railway or cable car to a snow-capped summit — Jungfraujoch, the Schilthorn, or Glacier 3000 — for the view that recalibrates the whole trip.

A Lake-Town Morning

Lucerne, Lugano, or Montreux — a waterfront stroll, a boat across the lake, and coffee where the mountains meet the water.

Chocolate & Cheese, at the Source

A mountain dairy or a chocolatier — the very Swiss pleasure of tasting the thing right where it’s made.

Kind Words
