Grand Train Tour of Switzerland

Modular Swiss rail package linking four named panoramic train routes

Illustration of Grand Train Tour of Switzerland

railtour suisse offers the Grand Train Tour of Switzerland as a flexible package built around four named panoramic trains: the Glacier Express between Zermatt and St. Moritz, the Bernina Express between Chur or St. Moritz and Tirano, the GoldenPass Line between Lucerne, Interlaken and Montreux, and the Gotthard Panorama Express, a combined boat and train journey between central Switzerland and Ticino. Together the routes cover around 1,280 kilometres, passing 11 lakes, 5 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and countless Alpine passes, and reaching all four of Switzerland's language regions. The operator describes it as available all year round and notes it can be booked in stages or as a complete round trip, rather than as one fixed multi-day itinerary. Six named tiers are priced separately, from 359 Swiss francs for the Stunning Waters option up to 1,470 Swiss francs for the Classic option. This suits independent travellers who want to assemble their own Swiss rail journey from a set menu of scenic routes rather than follow a single pre-built schedule.

What to know before you look closer

  • railtour suisse publishes no day-by-day itinerary for this overview package; it names four scenic train routes and six price tiers rather than a fixed schedule, so confirm the exact days, stops and route order with the operator before booking.
  • The advertised starting price of 359 Swiss francs is for the cheapest 'Stunning Waters' tier; the six listed tiers for this tour range up to 1,470 Swiss francs for the 'Classic' tier, so the price depends heavily on which named itinerary you choose.
