The best way to see what this small but beautiful country of Switzerland has to offer is by Train. The extensive network of Rail helps the tourist to explore the length and breadth of the country with beautiful towns, cities, mountains, lakes, and valleys
Much like our own Himalayan Queen (Kalka to Shimla) and Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling). There are some of the most celebrated scenic train routes in Switzerland offering amazing scenery while passing through the jaw-dropping landscapes of Switzerland.
Here are the four most scenic train rides in Switzerland that I would recommend you to take with your Switzerland Holiday Packages
