The incredible £69m railway linking three beautiful European cities in hours

The Golden Pass Express links the city of Montreux to Interlaken via Gstaad (Image: MOB) A panoramic express train service now links three of Switzerland 's most popular tourist hubs. The Golden Pass Express (GPX) was launched in December 2022, three years after its original launch date and a whole 150 years after the project was first tabled. The new line connects the cities of Montreaux, Gstaad and Interlaken thanks to a new set of trains capable of changing the height of their coach bodies and their gauge - the distance between their wheels – to better adapt to the track.

Passengers can immerse themselves in the stunning views of the Swiss mountains for the three-and-a-quarter hour journey thanks to the panoramic windows installed in every carriage. The railway cuts through most of central Switzerland, allowing travellers to take in some of the country's pretties lakes and secluded valleys. The GPX track was modelled on an ancient trade route in use since the Middle Ages.
