Spectacular Mountain Railways of the Swiss Alps

Embark on Swiss cog trains, blending tradition, tech, and nature, reaching majestic peaks.

The Swiss cog trains take you up through majestic landscapes to the most spectacular peaks.

Their unique blend of tradition, technology and nature is as fascinating today as it was then. Their charm and character captivates people from all over the world. With a lot of steam, sweat and flair, historic locomotives and railcars from the 19th century still climb the peaks of the Swiss mountains. Just like their modern successors, that shine with state-of-the-art engineering and technology.
