The Luzern–Interlaken Express is one of the most scenic train rides with panoramic windows! It connects Lucerne and Interlaken in just under 2 hours, winding past turquoise lakes, waterfalls, wooden chalets, and classic Swiss villages. It’s slow in the best way — the kind of journey where you can settle in, snack, and actually enjoy the views rolling by.

Good to know

  • ⏱️ Travel time: ~1 hour 55 minutes, direct train

  • Seat reservations are optional - book here. You can usually book just a few days before your trip.

  • 🎟️ Covered 100% by the Swiss Travel Pass & Berner Oberland Pass

  • 📍 Runs year-round (summer and fall are especially beautiful)

  • 👨‍👩‍👧 Perfect connection between Lucerne and the Jungfrau region

  • Sit on the right side of the train in either direction for the most scenic views!
