    The GoldenPass Line is one of Switzerland’s most scenic rail journeys, connecting Central Switzerland with the Bernese Oberland and the Lake Geneva region. Departing from Lucerne, the train climbs over the historic Brünig Pass, passing forests, waterfalls, and traditional mountain villages. Along the way, you’ll see the peaceful waters of Lake Lungern and the striking turquoise color of Lake Brienz, created by glacial minerals. The route showcases classic Swiss landscapes, including wooden chalets, green pastures, and Alpine valleys shaped by centuries of farming. As the journey continues west, the scenery gradually softens, with rolling hills and vineyards replacing the high mountains. The GoldenPass Line offers a continuous panorama of Switzerland’s natural beauty and cultural diversity.

    Interlaken lies between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, surrounded by some of the most impressive peaks of the Bernese Alps. The town has been a popular destination since the early days of Alpine tourism, offering fresh mountain air and easy access to the high mountains. In the center, the wide green Höhematte provides open views toward the famous trio of peaks — Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau — with the snow-covered Jungfrau often dominating the skyline. The region is also known for the vivid turquoise color of Lake Brienz and its scenic rivers and walking paths. With its combination of dramatic mountain scenery and relaxed atmosphere, Interlaken serves as a gateway to the heart of the Swiss Alps.

Nearby stands Chillon Castle, one of Switzerland’s most famous landmarks, built on a rocky island along the shore. Above the town, the terraced Lavaux vineyards — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — have been cultivated for centuries and form a unique cultural landscape.
