This video shows the complete train route from Grindelwald-Interlaken-Spiez-Zweissemin-Montreaux. It travels through beautiful villages like Saanen, Gstaad, and breathtaking Alps around you.
Unlike the Bernina Express and Glacier Express, the Golden Pass is not a direct train. It’s a scenic route, serviced by several very special trains. You need to switch trains in Interlaken and Zweisimmen.
The entire route takes almost 5.5 hours. It’s ideal for travelers who enter Switzerland by plane and only plan a short stay. Zurich airport is just one hour from Lucerne, and Geneva airport is just 75 minutes from Montreux.
