Voralpen Express and Centovalli Railway

Voralpen Express and Centovalli Railway

Across 444 bridges – a train experience to fall in love with: this is what you can expect on this incomparable trip from St. Gallen to Montreux via Locarno.

Your journey begins in St. Gallen with the highest railway bridge in Switzerland at 99 m – the Sitter Viaduct. Following at short intervals are the Glatttal and Weissenbach Viaducts as well as many glimmering lakes, such as Lakes Zurich, Zug and Lucerne. The next highlight is the Gotthard mountain route to Locarno with its numerous bridges and loop tunnels. The route then follows the wild and rugged Centovalli. After a short break in Domodossola, Italy and the journey through the 19,803 metres long Simplon Tunnel, you will see the vineyards of Lavaux on Lake Geneva.
