There are several scenic train routes running through the Alps of Switzerland. The “Golden Pass” route connects Lucerne, Interlaken and Montreaux and offers what many think to be the best scenic alpine train excursion.
I began my journey at the halfway point, in Interlaken. After a beautiful ride along Lake Thun, I transferred to a cog-driven train. Here we climbed the 76% grade trek through alpine meadows to the high point of the expedition. Then we began the journey down to Montreaux offering beautiful vistas of the Alps and Lake Geneva.
Here is a short video highlighting my adventure.
Wish I were there!
I am enjoying keeping up with you through your videos and blogs this summer. Trust me when I say that I wish I were there with you!

More TRAINS! Someday we’ll go back to Switzerland just to sightsee by train. Okay, maybe we’ll get off at Lauterbrunnen too.

Jim, I’ve done a lot of train rides this summer. There are a couple of more posts with train video. Hope all is well with you and Ann
