Luxury Switzerland Train Tours made for you
Start PlanningBoard Switzerland’s highest and steepest railways on a luxury train tour
The incredibly country of Switzerland offers some of the best luxury train travel in Europe – and perhaps the world. Much more than just transport, panoramic trains in Switzerland are a low impact way to discover the country – and its breathtaking panoramic views – at a slower pace.
The country’s railways weave through impossible mountain terrain. Its precision engineering crossing spectacular viaducts and traversing bridges and tunnels, linking Alpine villages, resorts and cities. All while you sit back in comfort.
Your bespoke grand tour of Switzerland will be seamless with our experts taking care of all the finer details. Visit Gstaad and Ticino, or Zermatt and St. Moritz, choosing a luxury seat or private compartment with transfers, experiences and the best luxury accommodation.
Some of the activities we especially recommend include a guided glacier hike, a gentle walk through Alpine scenery, a private city tour or a visit to a local wine producer. You could also ask your travel designer to include a stop at Jungfraujoch, home to Europe’s highest railway station and one of the world’s highest astronomical observatories.
Our example trips showcase a range of captivating Swiss locations, connected by panoramic rail journeys on the Glacier Express, Jungfrau train, Gornergrat Railway and Bernina Express.

Where to go
Gstaad
In the Alpine village of Gstaad, high-end hospitality and Swiss mountain traditions happily coexist – 300-year-old weathered timber barns stand adjacent to elegant hotels like Le Grand Bellevue and The Alpina.
St. Moritz
An unusual microclimate of over 300 days of sunshine annually defines St. Moritz. The original Alpine playground, with world-class winter sports and stunning summer mountain trails.
South Western Switzerland
The unmistakable peak of the Matterhorn provides both backdrop and identity to car-free Zermatt in South Western Switzerland, where the Gornergrat railway has carried visitors up to panoramic viewpoints since 1898.
Ticino
Vineyards terrace the south-facing slopes above Lake Maggiore in the Italian-speaking region of Ticino. Jewel blue lakes and forested mountains define this warm, southernmost canton of Switzerland.
