Easy side

Take a ride on
the word's steepest cogwheel railway to Mount Pilatus!
The highlight of the tour is the magnificent view from 7,000 feet above sea
level. At the summit, you'll see over 70 peaks and five different lakes.
The world's steepest cogwheel railway operates from May to November (depending

the panoramic gondolas and the aerial cable cars thatcontinuously operate
from Kriens to Pilatus Kulm during the entire winter.

Bernina Express
Travel from the crisp
snow down of St. Moritz to the palms and oleander of Lugano in Northern
Italy on the Rhaetian Railway's north-south Alpine crossing.
This 2 1/2 hour
trip from St. Moritz offers breathtaking views as you travel over boldly
curved viaducts, landscape of glaciers and stone fields to Tirano in Italy,
where a bus to Lugano is available. Along this route you pass
wild gorges, soaring bridges, fascinating loop tunnels and white ice-age
glaciers which are close enough to reach out and touch!
The Bernina Express
runs daily in the summer. In the winter only the train to and from Tirano
is operated. It offers first and second class service as well as panoramic
coaches.
seat reservations are 12CHF each, and they provided me with a number to fax
over the reservation request.
Swiss Post Bus and Swiss Post Bus directed me to www.Rail.ch. I sent Rail.ch
an email two days ago, but haven't heard back yet. The bus number shown at
www.Rail.ch (SBB) is 5500, and it shows "seat reservations compulsory.
William Tell Express
Travel The William
Tell Express links German-speaking Central Switzerland
with Italian-speaking Ticino. The Tour starts from Lucerne (Luzern)
, where you board a nostalgic paddle steamer for a 3 hour cruise on Lake
Lucerne and enjoy a gourmet meal in the first class restaurant. At Fluelen,
passengers board an air-conditioned panoramic train to travel through the
steep rvines and precipitous cliffs of the Reuss Vally, passing the 15 km
long historic Gothard railway tunnel, Europe's most important north/south
gateway. On the south side, many breath-taking bridges are crossed, passing
by charming villages down the valley towards Lugano (Locarno)
The William Tell
offers the trip on a paddle-steamer in first class, a Swiss lunch, and
the train journey in first or second class air-conditioned coaches. Reservations
are compulsory and include seats on the boat and train, the Swiss lunch
as well as a detailed journey documentation and the "William Tell Souvenir"
The William Tell Express operates only from May to October from Lucerne to
Lucrno (Lugano)
