Description
Enjoy an unforgettable train journey from Montreux to Interlaken without change on Golden Pass Express, a journey that awaited for more than 100 years.
Take on board the GoldenPass Express and take part in an exceptional 3h15 journey from the Vaud Riviera to the majestic peaks of the Bernese Alps via the Pays-d'Enhaut. The Golden Pass Express stands out for its aesthetics. All GoldenPass Express coaches are entirely panoramic and offer an immersive view of the surrounding landscape.
Enjoy a seamless and even more comfortable travel experience on one of Switzerland’s most picturesque train routes. The new panoramic train will connect Interlaken with Montreux up to four times a day, offering uninterrupted views of the breathtaking panorama. The journey on the GoldenPass Express is like a foray through Switzerland. The trip starts in picturesque Interlaken and continues via Gstaad, Château-d’Oex and Montbovon to Montreux, the journey’s final stop. Of course, you can also start your trip in Montreux.
Interlaken is a great base for numerous activities and boasts incredible views of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Luxurious Gstaad is known for its charming chalets and is a favourite holiday spot among stars and winter sports enthusiasts alike. Château-d’Oex is known for its hot air balloons and, with a little luck, you might spot one aloft. Montreux, of course, is home to the annual Montreux Jazz Festival.
Admire a world-first and a Swiss masterstroke train journey, the GoldenPass Express makes the dream of the pioneers come true . After all, the idea of connecting Interlaken and Montreux without needing to change trains originated more than 100 years ago. The project never materialised, however, because of the different track gauges of the respective sections of the line. But this seemingly impossible challenge could now be solved by an ingenious invention: adjustable bogies.
