5 reasons to take the GoldenPass Line
The most photogenic train ride in Europe, in five quick reasons.
The GoldenPass connects Lucerne to Montreux in a single, beautifully choreographed day. It is not the fastest way across Switzerland — it is the most beautiful.
Reason one: the panoramic Belle Époque carriages. The windows curve up into the ceiling so you can see clouds catch on the peaks above.
Reason two: the way the journey trades alpine meadows for vineyards in less than two hours. Around Gstaad you are still in the high country; by Vevey you are sipping Chasselas on a terrace over Lake Geneva.
