From Chocolate to Chalets: Switzerland's Themed Train Adventures

Trains are all the rage in Switzerland, with railway lines attracting more tourists than ever before, boasting 1.4 million daily passengers in 2023. Some lines have been themed , such as the Golden Pass Express connecting Montreux to the Bernese Oberland (with 40% foreign users), raking in over 100 million francs annually. Another feather in their cap is the Chocolate Express line to the Cailler chocolate factory in Broc, which has doubled tourist train traffic in the region. Local initiatives, including gourmet getaways and heritage trains, are showcasing local heritage and terroirs for tourists who are keen to enjoy the tranquility and scenic beauty along the routes.
