A great experience of history come alive: The journey leads from Ticino along the historic Gotthard panoramic route to Lucerne. Welcome to the original Switzerland! Starting in Lugano or Bellinzona, the journey takes you from the Mediterranean south right through the heart of Switzerland — and the Gotthard tunnel built in — over die Alps towards the north. En route, the church of Wassen can be seen from three different angles; thanks to the bold railway layout with its many loop tunnels it has become world-famous.
In the evening, Lucerne harbour — located right next to the famous Chapel Bridge — welcomes the travellers. And by the way: The journey can easily be travelled in the opposite direction, too. Apart from the many sights, passengers enjoy special presentations about history, myths and legends around Gotthard during this historic journey through time.
Last but not least, the culinary aspect will not be neglected: Guests may indulge in warm meals on the steamboat or enjoy snacks and beverages on the train. Exact departure and arrival times.
