Switzerland holidays by train
Want the full scenic route? Hop on board and discover Switzerland by train. With plenty of space to stretch and views that wow, your holiday begins the moment you step aboard. Experience comfort and smooth, stress-free travel - sit back, relax and let the journey unfold.
Free First Class Rail Upgrade on Transfers to Swiss Resorts
There’s something special about travelling to the mountains by train - and now, when you book a holiday to Switzerland, your rail transfer to your Swiss destination comes with a free First Class upgrade.
Leave everyday life behind as towns and fields slip past the window, slowly giving way to lakes, wide valleys and then the first snow-capped peaks in the distance. With more space to stretch out, quieter carriages and extra room for your bags (and legs), it’s a calmer, more comfortable journey that lets you look up and take in the views.
No airport queues, no baggage waits - just the mountains coming into view, one stop at a time.
This exciting offer applies to rail transfers to and from all 14 of our Swiss destinations (excluding travel on the Glacier Express, Bernina Express and any additional rail journeys during your holiday – so why not take a look at our other panoramic rail journeys?).
