Until December 2022 it involved 3 trains, but it can now be done with just two: Montreux to Interlaken and Interlaken to Lucerne. The first train is a new gauge-changing service, it runs from Montreux to Zweisimmen on the standard-gauge tracks of the Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon (...

Personal recommendations
1. In Zurich, for something special, look no further than the superbHotel Schweizerhof, located right next to Zurich station.
