Day 4 - GoldenPass Panoramic to Lucerne
We depart Vevey by train this morning with Montreux as our first
stop for the day. The short ride takes us along the shores of Lake
Geneva, and on arrival, we switch trains and join the renowned
carriages of the GoldenPass Line for a memorable journey through
the Swiss Alps to Lucerne. Gorgeous views of Lake Geneva fade into
the distance as the train begins its serpentine journey, weaving
through valleys and tunnels and climbing through the mountains to
the highest part of the train line near Saanenmöser. The train
descends to travel along Lake Thun and through the lush farmlands
of the Simmen Valley. Take in all the Swiss countryside splendor,
from quaint villages to antique farmhouses, as the train proceeds
past Mount Neason and toward Interlaken. Enjoy views of Lake Brienz
and the Hasli Valley before climbing the Brünig Pass. Marvel at the
contrast of serene waters and rugged mountains as you pass by
several lakes, including beautiful Lake Lucerne. Pilatus Mountain
comes into view as we approach Lucerne, concluding our spectacular
all-day journey through the Swiss Alps.
A coach takes us from the train station to our hotel on the
banks of Lake Lucerne, and upon check-in, you are free to freshen
up and settle in ahead of dinner tonight at the
hotel. Overnight Lucerne.
