Switzerland: A Train Journey with SBB/CFF/FFS. Picture this: a seemingly endless ribbon of steel rails weaving through a towering alpscape, flanked by villages that seem to have been drawn by an artist with an eye for detail. This is the essence of traveling with SBB/CFF/FFS - the Swiss Federal Railways.
Begin your adventure in the vibrant city of Zurich, an urban escape teeming with culture and history with the Bahnhofstrasse and the Old Town. Hopping on a train, you are whisked away to the medieval city of Lucerne, where the Chapel Bridge and the Water Tower are waiting to enchant. Did you know you can ascend Mount Pilatus via one of the world’s steepest cogwheel railways?
Continue your journey south to Interlaken, the gateway to the Jungfrau region. This is the ultimate playground for outdoor enthusiasts. A must-see is the Jungfraujoch, known as the 'Top of Europe.' The journey up is a marvel of engineering and provides breathtaking views. Descend into the warmth of the Ticino region with its Italianate charm and sub-tropical climate. The town of Lugano, nestled next to a glacial lake, offers a slice of la dolce vita.
How to get there? The SBB network is a paragon of efficiency, connecting all these picturesque destinations with impeccable punctuality and comfort. Whether in a first-class panoramic carriage or a regular compartment, you’re in for an unforgettable ride.
