La Svizzera, IL Paese dei treni

L’opzione migliore per viaggiare in Svizzera è probabilmente il treno. Si può viaggiare anche in macchina ma il treno vi offre il piacere di ammirare paesaggi incredibili senza lo stress di tenere gli occhi sulla strada. Viaggiare in treno in Svizzera è molto piacevole. 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.

Swiss Travel Pass: viaggia in Svizzera in treno, autobus e battello

Viaggia in Svizzera a bordo dei treni panoramici che la attraversano regioni sontuose and offer unique points of view. If you want to travel by train for several days and over long distances, it may be worth purchasing a Passaporto svizzero. This all-in-one ticket allows unlimited journeys by train, bus, or boat throughout Switzerland for 3, 4, 8, or 15 days. It also includes access to panoramic trains such as the Glacier Express, the Bernina Express, the GoldenPass Line, or the Gotthard Panorama Express (except the mandatory supplement for a seat reservation). The same goes for museums and cultural sites: more than 500 sites are included in the Swiss Travel Pass, including the most famous museums in the country. Finally, some of the most beautiful cable cars are also included in the pass. The rise of Rigi, Brunni, Schilthorn, e Stanserhorn è gratuito per i titolari dello Swiss Travel Pass. E ti dà anche accesso a sconti del 50% sulla maggior parte delle altre funivie.

I migliori treni panoramici della Svizzera

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 treno panoramico con finestre giganti che straripano sul tetto. 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.).
