🇨🇭If you come to Switzerland and don't take the Golden Pass line... you'll be really sad!

#OverseasTransportation When talking about Switzerland, you can't miss the **GoldenPass Line**. From Montreux to Lucerne, this spectacular panoramic train runs through the Alps for about 240km, and it's a dream route filled with the highlights of Switzerland, including grasslands, lakes, pastures, and mountains! ■The route is divided into three sections, each operated by a different company: ① Montreux → Zweisimmen • Travel time: About 2 hours (Choose a train marked with "PE" or "PE GPX"!) • Operating company: GoldenPass Panoramic/GoldenPass Classic • Recommended points: It runs along the shores of Lake Geneva, passing through the World Heritage Site of Lavaux vineyards and cute mountain villages. The scenery is like a postcard. Trick 1: Check the type of train! • Panoramic: A modern panoramic train • Belle Époque: A retro classic train (limited quantity!) Retro train schedule (only two trains per day): • Zweisimmen → Montreux: 12:02 departure/17:02 departure • Montreux → Zweisimmen: 09:43 departure/14:43 departure Trick 2: GoldenPass Express (GPX) The latest GoldenPass Express that connects Montreux and Interlaken directly! • Duration: Approximately 3 hours • Number of trains: 4 per day (trains marked with "PE GPX") Example: • Interlaken → Montreux: 09:08/11:07/14:07/16:07 • Montreux → Interlaken: 07:33/09:33/12:33/14:33 ② Zweisimmen → Interlaken • Duration: Approximately 2 hours (trains marked with "RE" or "PE GPX") • Operator: BLS Regioexpress (blue train) • Recommended points: Enjoy the diverse natural beauty of the valleys, forests, farms, and beautiful Lake Thun. ③ Interlaken → Luzern • Travel time: Approximately 2 hours (trains marked with the "PE LIX" symbol) • Operating company: Brünig Pass Line (red train) • Recommended points: One of the most scenic routes in Switzerland! The clear blue Lake Lungern and the mirror-like reflection of the Alps of the Bernese Oberland create a fantastic world. Travel tips: • If you are joining a tour, make sure to check if the Golden Pass line is included! • We recommend purchasing tickets in advance! (Ticket inspection required) • If you have a Swiss Travel Pass, you can ride for free! (However, seat reservations cost an additional 20CHF) • All "Interlaken" stations are east stations (Ost)! • **No matter which direction you're on, be sure to sit on the "right side"! **The scenery is in a different league! It would be a shame to miss out on this spectacular train in Switzerland! Enjoy a relaxing train journey while taking in the breathtaking views.
