Suiza, EL país de los trenes

La mejor opción para viajar por Suiza probablemente sea el tren. Viajar en coche también se puede hacer pero el tren te ofrece el placer de admirar paisajes increíbles sin el estrés de mantener la vista en la carretera. Viajar en tren por Suiza es muy agradable. On the one hand, because Swiss punctuality is no legend: it is really rare for trains to be late. On the other hand, because everything is very well connected. It is very impressive to see these trains go up to an altitude of 3400 m, cross wild landscapes made accessible to all. You just need to look at a map of Switzerland to understand: here dominate the big mountains, tumultuous rivers, glaciers, snow,... . The landscapes are sublime, but in return, the roads are often very winding. Crossing Switzerland by train saves a lot of time: 5,124 km of railway lines provide access to all regions of the country. No mountain prevents the Swiss from passing a train: they have just completed the new Gotthard rail tunnel, which is the longest in the world at 57 km.

Los mejores trenes panorámicos de Suiza.

The Swiss don't just have some of the most beautiful railways in the world: they've also decided to build the most beautiful trains to run on them. To enjoy the landscapes in the XXL version, they invented the concept of the Tren panorámico con ventanas gigantes que desbordan el techo.. Switzerland has beautiful mountain landscapes and nothing beats the train to admire them at ease. This is why the country has panoramic trains specially designed for tourists, equipped with large windows, audio guides, and, for some, a catering service: the Glacier Express, the Bernina Express, the Gotthard Panoramic Express, the Lucerne Interlaken, and the Golden Pass Panoramic. Also worth noting: scenic routes and themed trains (cheese, chocolate, etc.).
