Évasion Classe Prestige & Belle Époque en Suisse

3-day Switzerland getaway on GoldenPass Express and Belle Époque trains

Discovery Trains books this independent 3-day, 2-night circuit in Switzerland, combining two named panoramic trains between Montreux and Gstaad. Travelers arrive in Montreux on day one, with time to walk the flower-lined lakeside promenade and, if time allows, visit the Château de Chillon on Lake Geneva. Day two is spent aboard the GoldenPass Express in Prestige class, with a leather swivel raised seat, crossing the Bernese Oberland to the alpine village of Gstaad. On the final morning, travelers are free to explore Gstaad's lanes and shops before returning to Montreux aboard the historic GoldenPass Belle Époque panoramic train. No guide accompanies the trip; travelers manage their own connections and free time. A Swiss Travel Pass, both train reservations, one night in each town at a 4-star hotel, and breakfast are included. This suits independent travelers who want a short, self-guided taste of Switzerland's scenic rail lines rather than a longer escorted tour.
