Gotthard Panorama Express
The Gotthard Panorama Express connects two of the most beautiful regions in Switzerland and can be booked with overnight stays in Ticino, Weggis, Vitznau and Lucerne or as a combination with other panoramic trains. The combination of boat and train journey is a unique experience.
The journey on the Gotthard Panorama Express takes you from Lucerne by boat to Flüelen and then by train in a first-class panoramic carriage along the historic Gotthard panoramic route to Ticino. In Lucerne, you first board a steamboat or motorboat and glide across Lake Lucerne, past mystical bays and picturesque landscapes, while enjoying culinary delights. You will sail past countless historical sites in primeval Switzerland - first and foremost the Rütli meadow, where Switzerland was founded in 1291, as well as the Schiller Stone and the Tell Chapel.
In Flüelen, the panoramic train is ready to depart and takes you along the historic Gotthard route. Here you will see the church of Wassen three times, which has achieved world fame thanks to the bold railroad layout with its many helical tunnels. The journey continues south through the Gotthard tunnel between Göschenen and Airolo, which was opened in 1882. The varied Mediterranean landscape of Ticino awaits you here. Welcome under palm trees!
There are delicious catering options on the boat trip and on the train journey with the Gotthard Panorama Express.
