Switzerland
Switzerland: Trains, Peaks & Perfect Lakes
Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
Switzerland is the Alps at their most postcard-perfect — and the trains make it effortless.
The loop
Lakeside Zurich, the covered bridges of Lucerne and Mount Pilatus, then Interlaken between its two lakes, with a rail climb to Jungfraujoch, the "Top of Europe".
The one tip
Buy a Swiss Travel Pass — trains, lake boats and most mountain railways are bundled, and it pays for itself quickly. Pack a warm jacket; there's snow up top even in summer.
