Traditional train and panoramic train

You can choose between two different types of train to make you journey even better: the Panoramic GoldenPass and the Classic GoldenPass. Very modern and comfortable, the Panoramic GoldenPass was the first panoramic train in Europe. With its semi-glass roof, it allows you immerse yourself in the natural surroundings and become one with the landscape. Unique in Switzerland, the train also has a VIP area at the front of the train for an even more breath-taking experience. Launched a few years ago, the GoldenPass Classic will seduce even the most nostalgic among you. With retro-style interiors and coachwork, it will transport you back in time to the splendour of years gone by, in the purest tradition of trains such as the Orient Express. Both trains have restaurant cars.
