Swiss Railway Journeys

Swiss Railway Journeys is an enthralling series that reveals the pristine Swiss countryside as glimpsed from its flawless rail routes. The voyage begins in Canton Ticino, where travelers can take in Italian-influenced architecture before ascending high into the Alps through dense, forested valleys to behold this majestic mountain range. Before railway engineering transformed travel in the 1880s, crossing the Alpine spine from Northern Europe to Italy in winter was infeasible; today the route unfolds in full, showcasing dramatic landscapes from the heart of the Confederation to the Mediterranean coast. The itinerary also features the glamorous resort of St Moritz, the awe-inspiring Albula Line with its towering viaducts, spiral tunnels, and deep gorges, and the scenic Entelbuch valley. Swiss Railway Journeys delivers more options than a Swiss Army Knife.
