Brienz Rothorn Railway
This heritage journey follows Brienz – Planalp – Rothorn Kulm and centres on steam above the lake. Starting beside the Brienz area, the railway climbs through changing elevations towards Rothorn Kulm, with Planalp marking the transition into higher country. Rather than comparing it with a fast intercity train, enjoy the deliberate pace and the way the view develops as the lake falls below. Plan the rail portion first, then add independent time at the destination where the booked service allows it. Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.

Vigezzina–Centovalli Railway
This scenic journey follows Locarno – Intragna – Santa Maria Maggiore – Domodossola and centres on cross-border valleys. From the Locarno side, the railway moves through the Centovalli towards the Italian Vigezzo valley before descending to Domodossola. The succession of small settlements and wooded slopes creates the character of the ride. Plan the rail portion first, then add independent time at the destination where the booked service allows it. Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.

Gornergrat Railway
This scenic journey follows Zermatt – Riffelberg – Gornergrat and centres on matterhorn views. Board in Zermatt and let the landscape open gradually as the railway gains height towards Gornergrat. The journey offers a different perspective from a valley walk, with intermediate stations allowing a more flexible visit when the ticket and timetable permit. Plan the rail portion first, then add independent time at the destination where the booked service allows it. Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.

Gotthard Panorama Express
This scenic journey follows Arth-Goldau – Flüelen – Bellinzona – Lugano and centres on historic alpine crossing. The rail route links Arth-Goldau and the lake-side connection at Flüelen with the southward journey to Bellinzona and Lugano. The change from Central Switzerland towards Ticino gives the day a clear sense of progression. Plan the rail portion first, then add independent time at the destination where the booked service allows it. Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.

Jungfrau Railway
This scenic journey follows Kleine Scheidegg – Eigergletscher – Jungfraujoch and centres on high alpine railway. The railway moves from the exposed mountain setting into the tunnels through the Eiger and Mönch before reaching Jungfraujoch. This is not a continuous window-view journey, so the experience should be understood as both a remarkable ascent and time at the destination. Plan the rail portion first, then add independent time at the destination where the booked service allows it. Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.

Luzern–Interlaken Express
This scenic journey follows Lucerne – Lungern – Brienz – Interlaken Ost and centres on lakes and alpine passes. From Lucerne, the railway passes through changing lakeside and upland scenery before descending towards Brienz and Interlaken. The journey is long enough to feel like a distinct experience but short enough to leave much of the day available at either end. Plan the rail portion first, then add independent time at the destination where the booked service allows it. Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.

Mont-Blanc Express
This scenic journey follows Martigny – Vallorcine – Chamonix – Saint-Gervais-les-Bains Le Fayet and centres on cross-border alps. The route leaves Martigny for the steep-sided Trient valley before reaching the border area and the Chamonix valley. The progression from valley town to mountain landscape gives the railway its character. Plan the rail portion first, then add independent time at the destination where the booked service allows it. Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.

GoldenPass Express
A scenic link between two useful Swiss holiday bases, travelling through Gstaad and Zweisimmen without the usual break-of-gauge transfer. It can serve as both a journey and a change of region. Build in time at the endpoints rather than expecting organised sightseeing or accommodation to accompany the rail ticket.

Pilatus Cogwheel Railway
This scenic journey follows Alpnachstad – Pilatus Kulm and centres on mountain engineering. The ascent begins at Alpnachstad and turns the mountain itself into the focus of the journey. The short rail section is most rewarding when it is not hurried between tightly timed connections. Plan the rail portion first, then add independent time at the destination where the booked service allows it. Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.

Rigi Railways
This scenic journey follows Vitznau – Rigi Kaltbad – Rigi Kulm and centres on lake and mountain. The journey from Vitznau offers a gradual change from the lakeshore to Rigi Kaltbad and the upper mountain. An arrival by boat can make a pleasing combination, but it is a separate connection that needs its own timetable check. Plan the rail portion first, then add independent time at the destination where the booked service allows it. Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.

Voralpen-Express
This scenic journey follows Lucerne – Arth-Goldau – Rapperswil – St Gallen and centres on alpine foothills. The route brings together the views around Rigi and the Mythen, the upland country near Rothenthurm, the lake crossing by Rapperswil and the hills of Toggenburg. The appeal is cumulative rather than concentrated in one famous summit. Plan the rail portion first, then add independent time at the destination where the booked service allows it. Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.
