How to Experience Winter in Switzerland with the Swiss Travel Pass

From iconic routes like the Glacier Express and Bernina Express to charming towns, winter boat rides, and festive markets, winter in Switzerland offers a travel experience that feels straight out of a postcard.

In this episode, I’m joined by Swiss rail expert Andy Nef to break down one of the most beautiful winter routes in the country, highlighting train travel in Switzerland at its best. We walk through a stunning Swiss itinerary inspired by the Grand Train Tour, including Lucerne, Interlaken, Zermatt, and St. Moritz, all easily explored with the Swiss Travel Pass.

You’ll learn which panoramic trains operate in winter, when to book seat reservations, how to pair rail journeys with scenic lake cruises, and how your pass unlocks perks like discounted mountain excursions and free museum access. Andy also shares practical winter travel tips to help you stay warm, flexible, and stress-free while moving through the Alps.

If you want a smooth, scenic, and unforgettable winter journey, this episode gives you a clear path to planning a stunning Swiss winter adventure without the hassle, all while maximizing comfort and value.

Happy travels,
Carolyn
