Panoramic Journey

8-day Swiss rail circuit on the GoldenPass, Glacier, and Bernina Express trains

Illustration of Panoramic Journey

Panoramic Journey is Switzerland Travel Centre's 8-day self-guided rail trip across four named panoramic trains. Starting in Montreux, travelers ride the GoldenPass Express to Interlaken, where a Jungfrau Railway excursion climbs to the Jungfraujoch and its glacier landscape. From Interlaken, the route continues by train to Brig and then aboard the Glacier Express to St. Moritz, followed by the Bernina Express to Tirano, Italy, with time to explore before the return trip to St. Moritz. Two-night stays in Montreux, Interlaken, and St. Moritz keep the pace relaxed rather than rushed between stops. Travelers start and end at any point in Switzerland they choose, and there is no tour manager, so each connection is made independently. This suits travelers who want several of Switzerland's best-known scenic rail routes in one trip without a guided group.
