Whether you're a tourist or a local, it's a journey that leaves you in awe.

What a fantastic ride. Very soothing for eyes and can’t describe the feeling and the moments we witness. Great value for money. Must try journey in Switzerland.

I do advice prior purchase of tickets as they do sell out in advance, also purchase any food you would like in advance as well that way when you're sat they immediately serve your goodies! It was overcast, rainy and cloudy but the views were still great! Sitting back in the comfy seats by the window with a hot cappuccino and a charcuterie board is amazing! The staff was excellent!

We loved this scenic train ride The train car was so comfortable for the 3 hour train ride I made a reservation well in advance and then also bought our train tickets Be sure you buy the correct ticket for the 3+ hour train ride. Just stunning views The food looked excellent

Golden Pass Express did not disappoint. More Swiss shots in my FB page The Wandering Droner.

We had the best experience the train ride was enjoyable then the coach ride was pleasant the cheese factory was very interesting visiting the village gruere was delightful we enjoyed the visit to Cailler learning all about the chocolates history watching and tasting the chocolate made but most of all we love the tour guide called Hugo he was so lovely and attentive making sure we all enjoyed our day.

What a beautiful train journey. This is an incredible experience that I’m lucky to have done twice/three times. In summer the experience is completely different from winter. It’s so peaceful and relaxing. I rode from Montreux to gstaad and I think it took about 1hr 30. Amazing! 😻

I expected it to be a regular, boring train ride but on departing Montreux, the train passed by some of the most spectacular mountain scenery. If you have the time, do gift yourself this beautiful train ride. I don't think you'll regret it.
