Gotthard Panorama Express SBB

Partiti da Lugano. Una bellissima esperienza osservando paesaggi che in tanti viaggi fatti attraverso la Svizzera non avevamo mai notato. Stupendo l'attraversamento del lago dei 4 cantoni. Unico neo sul battello i menu solo in tedesco...

Excellent welcoming spot as you get off of the train. Recommended to visit at night as well.

The Gotthard Panorma Express is a grand day trip by boat and train. Starting from Lucerne, we sailed on Europe's oldest steam boat across the mountain framed lake. In early October there was a fresh breeze (bring warm cloth if you plan to stay outside), but the upper deck also beautifully sunny. The morning fog soon lifted and views opened, so don't be deterred if the morning looks gloomy. The restaurant serves food and drink, but nobody minds if you bring your own either. Indoors there are information panels and one can watch the steam engine in full action. It looks as shiny and new as it started operations yesterday, not 100 years ago.Arriving in Flüelen its a mere 100 m walk to the the train station, where within 15 min the train arrives. Beware that advance reservations is required for the panoramic train that runs only once daily in each direction. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating, I wasn't aware there would be a multi lingual guide on board and the human touch instead of canned recording made the whole experience more special. There's also an overview map and guidebook. The newer air conditioned wagons have panoramic windows, there's an older one where one can open windows to take photos, too. The restaurant serves light meals, including vegan options, though they took a while to arrive. A little Swiss chocolate at the end topped it off. :)The whole experience was top notch and I'm eager to return for another of Switzerland's panorama train routes!

esperienza rilassante sulla linea ferroviaria di montagna. Panorami mozzafiato e servizio personalizzato. Se hai fretta non provarla ma se hai tempo allora devi sfruttare questa opportunità di attraversare le Alpi

Journeyed on the Gotthard Panorama Express from Luzern to Lugano in late April 2023. Fantastic experience! The day started sunny but towards midday there was rain. The trip began with a boat cruise from Luzern to Flüelen. The landscape of Lake Uri is breathtaking!The panorama train from Flüelen to Lugano was amazing. The tour guide was enthusiastic and provided great commentary along the Gotthard route. Great customer service from the train steward. Unforgettable experience!Tickets can be bought online.

Nuestro primer tren panorámico. Para cogerlo cogimos un barco desde Luzern hasta Fluelen (trayecto 3 horas) y luego desde aquí nos tocaba coger este tren que nos llevaria a Lugano una localidad muy cerquita de Italia.Este tren además de la swiss travel pass necesita reserva de asiento.Totalmente recomendable.

Panorama-Fahrt von Arth-Goldau nach Lugano. Ein unvergesslicher Reiseleiter und tolles Service-Personal im Zug. Einfach nur top! Sehr empfehlenswert, die Zeit vergeht wie im Zug" :-)"

Il y a un guide dans chaque wagon du train depuis Fluelen en + des explications audios ! Il parle anglais, français, allemand, italien et répond à toutes nos questions.J'ai trouvé exagéré de faire payer un supplément surclassement et une réservation (16.50 + 16 CHF) mais finalement ça a valu la peine et c'est compréhensible vu le service donné durant le voyage.Petit bonus : on reçoit des cartes postales déjà affranchies, un stylo et un chocolat en cadeau.
