Switzerland's Newest Luxury Train in the BEST SEAT!

[@buzzukfiftythree]

Great video, thanks. We love Switzerland (my husband worked there for a couple of years in the 90s), and go whenever we can to visit friends and travel on what we call the “Swiss Federal Train Set” - it has the greatest integrated public transport network in Europe, if not the World. It used to be considered expensive, but I’d say that travelling on the UK’s trains nowadays is about the same, and there are several ways of making it less expensive - The Inter-rail and Swiss Travel Passes for example. We look forward to taking the Golden Pass train next time we’re there (probably 2025). We’ve done the MOB and it’s a great trip with amazing scenery; but then Switzerland has amazing scenery just about anywhere in the country.

I have been on trains in Switzerland, but no scenic ones. I still cried while I was onboard, for two reasons: 1. The scenery was just breathtaking; 2. The price I had to pay to be there. I travelled from Zurich to Lucerne, from Lucerne to Bern, and from Bern to Lausanne. No panoramic trains, but the scenery was still amazing.

3:45 they have now added a fifth carriage to the sets which have level boarding and are accessible!

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Only from Zweissimen

Took the train in April, 2023 when the new trains were limited to the narrow gauge due to problems with the gauge changing equipment. Despite that the trip was incredible and look forward to more train adventures in Europe in 2026.

@@johndornoff excellent John, thanks for sharing 😀

[@luke211286]

I took this Golden Pass on a May, it was still during the time that we need to change trains in Zweissimen. But unlike your experience of having snow, it was a scorching 30 degree summer heat with intense humidity. Even this Filipino who is used to hot weather was complaining 😂

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Hahahaha Luke 😂 You really have got around haven't you lol... I can't believe you were complaining about the heat 🥵 😆

[@danmartin638]

Great video of this fantastic train! As I work for the MOB, here are some small things I would like to add: For accessibility, MOB recently recieved new low level coaches, with wheel chair areas and level boarding with the platforms. Yor pronounciation of Chateau-d'Œx was spot on! However for Gstaad you pronounced it more like 'Guestaad' (but don't worry, even for us french speakers it's difficult to say it correctly😅) For the maximum gradient of the route, it's 7% (1 in 14), 30% is already steep for a rack railway, it would be impossible for adhesion rolling stock to climb this! Next time you come, make sure to check out the GoldenPass Belle Epoque with lovely old coaches, or the GoldenPass Panoramic with forwards seats having an unobstructed view of the tracks ahead!

[@compdude100]

The precision of Swiss trains allows for some really tight transfers! I took a connecting train from Lausanne to Montreux to get to the Golden Pass Express. The train that I took arrived at 9:31am, so I only had three minutes to make my connection to the Golden Pass Express train. I was quite relieved to discover that I just had to walk across the platform!

[@ricksipes2026]

I took the Golden Pass Express in August traveling on a first-class Eurail pass. The ride was splendid. And I agree, Interlaken is the best place in Switzerland to visit.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Excellent Rick! Have you done Bernina or Glacier too?

[@ricksipes2026]

@@NonstopEurotrip No, but I plan to on another trip.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

[@luke211286]

Interlaken isn't a fun place per se, but is a great hub for nearby mountain destinations.

[@ricksipes2026]

@@luke211286 That's why I chose it, Luke, and stayed at a hotel across the bridge from the train station. Great location and never ventured beyond Unterseen and the area in Interlaken near the station. Very convenient.

[@ChrisGBusby]

Glad to see these run through now. Last I did it (many years ago) you had to change trains to something much less luxurious from Zweisimmen to Interlaken.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

At least the views are the same 😊

Oh my gosh that train plushie is so cute! We need more train plushies!

[@JonathanButler-zd8qt]

I went to Switzerland once and stayed near Geneva. I took the golden pass train for the day. I loved it there and I wanted to stay there.

[@SRanade]

I took the route from Geneva to Lucerne then eglenberg in month of August, the best month to visit Switzerland. Of course that was before KZbin existed. I have some photos now no videos. It was 15 years back

[@NonstopEurotrip]

It's much better when there's snow ☃️

Kereta ygbagus sekali..serasakita ikut naik terimakasih vidionya

[@brucehain]

I love their Style of station modernization with the piebald passage at Montreaux. To translate Middle European grade calculations multiply the distance by 100 - so 30% is actually 3% = three feet (or three meters) of elevation in 300 feet (or 300 meters) of linear distance.

[@Backwardlooking]

What a hard life you lead. Switzerland I found to be even more extortionate than Norway. The Swiss themselves cross their borders to shop in the cheaper E.U.. 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Very very hard 👀

[@Noah-qh6ow]

For all people who are low on money: Seat reservations aren‘t mandatory (recommended though), that means, you can just sit in and take your first or second class seat if there is enough space!

[@NonstopEurotrip]

If you're low on money I doubt you'll have the relevant railpass - and I sure as hell wouldn't want to stand for the whole trip!

[@hariranormal5584]

it's so beautiful IRL :D I remember our trip to CH, couln't have asked for anything better :)

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Absolutely 💯

[@oskarsrode2167]

Summer 2022 I made an Interrail Eurotrip. There was no reservation fee, but I only used it to Spiez. My guess is this train serves as a local/regional train there and then there are other trains from Spiez, so it can charge more.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

@@oskarsrode2167 you don't have to book a seat but if it's full - you're standing for 3 hours.

Looks good, but I would be amazed if the gradient is 30%. That's steep for a funicular!

[@bigmikeswiss]

more likely 30 o/oo but following wikipedia its 73 o/oo max incline on the mob.

[@sbedford9833]

We took this train, was not this new equipment. We went to that exact Migrolino for snacks and food as even though we had first class tickets there wasn't food services. (Maybe water and hot drinks? Been too long I don't remember.) They were elevated over the other classes. However the route was exactly the same. Was an amazing journey!

[@geassrailfantitan3414]

which rail pass is better in switzerland, Eurail or Swiss Travel Pass? i liv in the US

[@johnplampin7274]

Probably the Swiss travel pass but you should check to see what each covers. And if course if you go anywhere besides Switzerland then Eurail or Interrail. The Swiss Travel Pass has extras such as museum entries, etc.

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

You should do the Dublin Hueston to Killarney Train, especially if Iarnod Éireann are doing any special trains - or on any steam trains with the RPSI 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪😍

[@sgritheall163]

And who's in the premium class? Mostly railway staff travelling on an pass or even in uniform.

Realy Nice Video. It is intresting you did not find weelchairspaces though. To meet the requirements of the laws in switzerland MOB had to buy one couch per trainset with level boarding and wheelschairspaces. I dont know if or why this was not in use in your set. Also the maximum gradient of the line is not 30%. Dont know where this number is from. That would be impossible to do without a rack if even. Its 72 ‰ but thats allready a very much for a adhesion based railway.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Maybe they're fold up seats? Idk

Montreux on Lake Geneva? Must be new and built after Freddy Mercury's demise. My canton of Vaud has a chique city called Montreux . It is on Lac Léman, which is part Swiss, part French.
