The GoldenPass Express, a journey of unparalleled beauty and luxury that National Geographic recently crowned as one of the world's most picturesque trns. Launched in December 2022, this exceptional trn has been designed to offer travelers an enchanting trip connecting the mountns with lakes, through the heart of Switzerland's breathtaking landscapes.
Since its inception on the slopes of Lake Geneva, where vineyards and palm trees are found alongside dense forests and lush green fields, the GoldenPass Express gradually leads passengers towards the canton of Fribourg. Next comes a captivating journey through the Pays-d'Enhaut region with wooden chalets pnted in a myriad of colors, while balloons filled with multitudes take to the skies. As travelers cross the linguistic borders between Vaud and Bern, they find themselves immersed in the beauty of the Bernese Oberland, which has long captivated travelers worldwide.
The GoldenPass Express continues its serene route as it passes through the picturesque village of Gstaad before arriving at Zweisimmen. Further along, this marvel travels through the Simmental valley characterized by traditional churches and then proceeds to Spiez. The journey culminates in Interlaken, gateway to the eternal snow-covered Jungfrau region.
The GoldenPass Express is a bl of technological prowess, comfort, and gastronomy. It was made possible thanks to an innovative system developed after more than 150 years by the Montreux Oberland Bernese Rlway MOB. This system allows for automatic wheel spacing on carriage bogies that were once incompatible due to differing rl gauges between Montreux and Interlaken.
Passenger comfort is a top priority onboard this modern trn. All classes provide panoramic windows so travelers can fully immerse themselves in the scenery. Classes include first and second, with an additional 18 Prestige seats located in two elevated compartments. These luxurious spaces feature comfortable heated rotating seats that allow passengers to always face the direction of travel when seated by requesting assistance from the staff. A catering service is avlable for booking directly to each seat, offering selections like aperitif platters with regional specialties, caviar, and 'breakfast' boxes. Refreshments include Lavaux wines and Interlaken beers.
In October 2023, National Geographic recognized the GoldenPass Express as one of its most beautiful trns globally. The trn now operates four dly departures in all seasons: from Montreux at 7:34, 9:34, 12:34, and 14:34; and from Interlaken at 9:08, 11:08, 14:08, and 16:08. The last trn is named the Shania Trn in honor of its godmother, renowned singer Shania Twn. Additionally, this trn hosted Roger Federer and Trevor Noah as part of Swiss Tourism's annual promotional video shooting.
