    Planning a rail tour with our tell pass; choice is

    Golden Pass line

    Train from Interlaken to Lucerne and round trip

    Or

    Gotthard Panorama Express

    Train from Flüelen to Göschenen and round trip.

    Which one is more scenic?

    I don’t think we can do both, so need to choose one.

    Hi Pats,

    I have a feeling this comes down to personal preference – both routes have their fans and both I think are nice.

    By including the boat trip from Lucerne to Flüelen I think the Gotthard Express route to Göschenen is your best bet. http://www.myswissalps.com/go tthardpanoramaexpress/ gettingthere

    I haven’t spent much time in the area for many years but, following an article that appeared in a recent issue of “Today’s Railways” magazine I’m planning a two-week coverage of the area using a Tell Pass.

    There are many scenic routes worth doing away from the “standard” ones visited by most tourists.

    Whatever; enjoy your travels and always remember the PPPPP: prior planning prevents poor performance. The planning (and research) is often half the fun.
