Tips for Train Travel

Sunset at Harder Kulm

Hop on for the last turn of the funicular to watch the sunset over the lakes; It is less crowded and more magical.

Hidden Towns

Visit Iseltwald on Lake Brienz for a quiet, authentic Swiss village experience.

Punctuality

In Switzerland, 5 minutes late is too late. The trains leave exactly on time.

Night Silence

From 10:00 p.m., silence is greatly respected in residential areas and hotels.

Sun Protection

In the mountains the sun is much stronger due to the altitude and the reflection of the snow. Use high protection.

Mountain Safety

Always check the weather report before climbing the peaks. The weather changes in minutes.

Appropriate Equipment

Even in summer, bring something warm if you are going up Jungfraujoch, where temperatures are always below zero.
