Panoramic trains on the Golden Pass route

Short summary – read this first

A traveler named Amr is planning to ride the Golden Pass train route and wants to know if all the trains are panoramic. They also need guidance on how to find panoramic train options in the SBB App.

Key takeaways:
  • Not all trains on the Golden Pass route are panoramic; only those between Montreux and Zweisimmen are specifically labeled as MOB Panoramic or MOB Belle Epoque.
  • The Luzern-Interlaken Express has larger windows and is similar to a panoramic train, but it's not labeled as one.
  • Check the timetable on the Golden Pass website for specific panoramic train details.

    Hi Amr,

    The panoramic trains on the Golden Pass route run on the Montreux to Zweisimmen section (not all trains are panoramic on this route).

    All trains between Interlaken and Lucerne are similar to a panoramic train (larger windows) but not quite the same.

    If you search the timetable here, the trains on the Montreux to Zweisimmen route that are panoramic are listed as MOB Panoramic (modern train) and MOB Belle Epoque (heritage train).

    Hi Amr,

    I have attached photos of the windows of the Luzern-Interlaken Express, which forms part of the Golden Pass route, and those of the Golden Pass panoramic train, which runs only between Zweisimmen and Montreux.
