Grand Train Tour of Switzerland «Hidden Treasures»
Would you like to explore some hidden treasures in Switzerland? We recommend a train journey which is less known. The Centovalli railway is a journey for romantics. Spectacular trip through the enchanting "One Hundred Valleys", along deep gorges and cliffs, over spectacular bridges and through chestnut woods and lush vegetation, straight to Locarno on Lake Maggiore.
Explore Interlaken, the gateway to the three majestic mountains: Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and nestled between Lakes Thun and Brienz. In Locarno, stroll along the lake promenade under palm trees and enjoy the dolce far niente with a glass of wine on the Piazza Grande.
