This Scenic Train With Panoramic Windows Is One of the Most Beautiful Ways to Travel Through Switzerland
Briefly

Traveling by train is an excellent way to explore the diverse landscapes of Switzerland. The Treno Gottardo, renowned for its scenic views, connects northern cities like Zürich, Basel, and Luzern to the southern region of Locarno. This journey, lasting between 3 to 4.5 hours, showcases Switzerland's rich contrasts—from urban cultural hubs to Mediterranean-style landscapes. Passengers can admire historic sites, such as the Baroque church of Wassen and the castles of Bellinzona, all while enjoying panoramic views from the train's large windows.
The scenic Treno Gottardo runs over the historic Gotthard panoramic line as it makes its way over the Alps from three cities in the north—Zürich, Basel, and Luzern—to the Italian-speaking resort city of Locarno in southern Switzerland.
The route, which ranges from three to 4.5 hours depending on your departure city, is known for showcasing the many sides of Switzerland.
The real magic of the Treno Gottardo, however, is not just in where it goes but in how it gets you there.
