I'd also add the Interlaken - Luzern train to the collection. It's a narrow-gauge cog-wheel affair climbing up and down the separating mountain range. No reservations necessary, it runs every hour, has a bistro car and panorama (tall) windows. The views are obligatorily breathtaking, you just have to sit on the right side of the train (when facing the engine). The train reverses direction before it begins its climb but stay on the same side of the train.

I would really like to visit a dairy farm, as I grew up on a dairy in Texas. We’re flying into Zurich and planning to stay in Interlaken for a week. Do you have any recommendations?

An excellent video, except that you do not stress important points about the Swiss Travel Pass. If you have an STP it will give you FREE travel on both lines up the Rigi; the Bernina Express bus from Tirano to Lugano; not only the whole of the line from Locarno to Domodossala but also the main line from Domodossola to Brig; the WAB between Lauterbrunnen and Wengen. Above Wengen the STP gives only a 25% discount. You rightly stress the joys of the Gornergrat line. STP gives a 50% discount on that line. The Gornergrat, with a near 360% view at the top, is very definitely value for money. The Jugfraujoch is grossly overpriced.

I was delighted that Louis included the line from Lausanne up through the Vineyards on the way to Bern. In September 2019 I was travelling around Switzerland on a first class Swiss Travel Pass. I just managed to catch the !R15 leaving Lausanne at 1644. The only spare upstairs seat was next to a very well-dressed woman who spent most of the journey to Bern engrossed in her lap-top. But she did pause to admire the Lavaux vineyards! Nearly three hours later, watching the evening SRF news I had a shock. 'Hey, that the woman I was sitting next to on the train from Lausanne to Bern!' She was/is Bundesratin Karin Keller-Sutter, now (2024) Finance-Minister and Vice-President of the Confederation.

Sir is your household income 150k swiss francs a year?

[munyeong]

Is there a specific name to the train from Lucerne to Interlaken ? Thanks

[smallspaceprepping]

Are there any trains from Zurich to Venice?

[nealjohnson]

Another great Video. Can we access any of these trips via a Eurail pass?

[saket]

Seeing this video I am tempted to plan a Swiss Trip only on wheels to cover all of them

[TSinRM]

What a great video. We can't wait for our trip this summer.

If you want to ride through the Gotthard rail in winter there also is "Treno Gottardo" by SOB that runs from Basel/Luzern or Zurich to Locarno. Every hour, all year round (one train departs from Basel and the next one from Zurich). It also has a few more stops than the "Gotthard Express" so if you want to do some hiking in the mountain villages of Leventina you can do it more easily.

Nice videos. Can I buy glacier express tren ticket the same day?
