Overview

The GoldenPass Express offers a fresh and luxurious approach to train travel between Interlaken and Montreux, showcasing one of Switzerland’s most beautiful routes with a seamless and comfortable ride. The new panoramic train offers up to four daily journeys, immersing passengers in uninterrupted views of breathtaking Swiss landscapes. A major highlight of the new GoldenPass Express is the “Prestige” class. Designed to enhance the travel experience, it features a small, private compartment with superior comfort, generous space, and refined culinary offerings, perfect for travelers seeking an unforgettable rail journey. The route itself is a scenic marvel, starting in Interlaken, known for its picturesque lakes and mountain views. The train then traverses charming locales such as Gstaad, Château-d’Oex, and Montbovon, before reaching the final stop in Montreux, a town famed for its beautiful lakefront setting. Travelers can also begin their journey in Montreux for the reverse trip. The GoldenPass Express is a remarkable engineering feat, unifying different track gauges to provide a smooth journey without the need to change trains. This century-old idea, now realized through innovative adjustable bogies, truly exemplifies Swiss ingenuity and a commitment to making seemingly impossible projects a reality.
