Car trains from Kandersteg to Goppenstein
In September, Swissrog will be traveling through Switzerland by car and is looking for information on whether they can take a train from Spiez to Visp that allows car loading. They're specifically interested in the schedule for trains passing through the Lötschberg tunnel.
- To take a car train, you need to drive to Kandersteg, as the car train does not depart from Spiez.
- The train travels to Goppenstein, not Visp, and you should follow the signs to reach Goppenstein from Kandersteg.

Do I have to drive to Kandersteg to catch car train or does it start from Spiez to get to Visp? Swissrog
Hi Swissrog,
It departs from Kandersteg, not Spiez (see the above links). And it arrives in Goppenstein, not Visp.
You drive as far as Kandersteg, follow signs to Goppenstein and drive your car on to the train (sets of flat wagons with canopies and open sides) and stay in it at all times, then you rumble and bounce around for about 15 minutes, then you drive off the wagons at the other end and drive down the hairpinned road to Steg where you rejoin the main road network.
I used it a few weeks ago. My picture shows what it looks like from the front seat of your car.
