Swiss Alps, Lakes & Canyons by Scenic Trains, Boat and Cogwheel

Join me on a journey through the heart of Switzerland, traveling entirely by public transport just like the locals. We begin by ascending Europe’s first cogwheel train to the majestic Mount Rigi, known as the Queen of the Mountains. From the summit, take in breathtaking 360-degree views over sparkling lakes, forested hills, and snow-capped Alps. After soaking in the panorama, we descend to the other side for a scenic cruise, gliding across crystal-blue waters framed by dramatic mountain scenery. The combination of mountains, lakes, and fresh alpine air creates an unforgettable day immersed in Swiss natural beauty.

The adventure continues through spectacular spiral tunnels, a marvel of Swiss engineering, into hidden valleys at the country’s heart. We then board another cogwheel mountain railway, climbing through the Grand Canyon of Switzerland, where cliffs, gorges, and rushing rivers reveal the raw power and beauty of nature. As evening falls, we return aboard a restaurant wagon, enjoying a meal or drink while the train carries us back, offering the perfect ending to a day of Swiss wonders. This journey blends scenic travel, engineering marvels, and breathtaking landscapes for a truly memorable experience.
