  • CLASSIC TOUR
  • WITH NORTHERN LIGHTS

You travel through beautiful scenery to  Þingvellir National Park  (Thingvellir). This is one of the most incredible geological wonders of the world and also the place where Icelandic history was made. The Icelandic Parliament, Alþingi, was founded here in 930, making it the oldest continuously existing parliament in the world. The Eurasian and North American tectonic plates have been slowly edging apart, creating a stunning rift valley that runs right through Þingvellir. The rugged cliff of this valley forms a dramatic and atmospheric backdrop to the place where the Law Speaker, the supreme Icelandic Chieftain, would stand to proclaim the law. A flag marks the law rock (lögberg), where the greatest decisions in the history of the Icelandic people were declared. What an incredible photo opportunity!

Next on the agenda is the  Geysir geothermally active area . Great Geysir, the spouting hot spring whose fame gave us the English word ‘geyser´ to describe this activity, is inactive nowadays. You will see Strokkur, a nearby erupting hot spring that erupts huge volumes of superheated water every 8 to 10 minutes. These boiling water spouts often soar to 25 m, but sometimes the scalding jets will be propelled 40 m skywards. Watching a geyser erupt is always a stunning and incredible moment.   

Another attraction is the most famous waterfall in Iceland, the magnificent Gullfoss  (the “Golden Falls). The river flowing through Gullfoss is the mighty Hvítá (the White River). This river originates at Langjökull glacier, the 2nd largest glacier in Iceland. Feel the spray in the air as the thundering torrent is forced through the canyon, dropping 32 m in two stages, pivoting as it does so. You will see plenty of golden-hued spray around Gullfoss, the Golden Falls!

The final highlight of the tour is Kerid crater lake . It's a 3000-year-old spot 55 meters deep and most recognized for its beauty – aquamarine-colored water surrounded by red rocks and greenery. This color scheme is what makes the lake look like a giant eye from above. For this reason, it's called "The Eye of the World."

If you want to extend your tour you could book an additional Northern Lights tour at night, please select it during the booking process.

Pick up & Return time

Pick-up Information : Pick-up is at 12 pm from your hotel or a nearby meeting point in Reykjavík. Picking everyone up can take up to 30 minutes. Your patience is much appreciated.

Available pick-up points : Arctic Adventures’ pick-up list .

Return Time : The tour returns to Reykjavík around 6 pm – please bear in mind that the weather conditions in Iceland can sometimes cause delays.

How is it best to be ready for a pick-up for a tour with Arctic Adventures?

This is a great question. We ask all participants to be ready from the start of the pickup time indicated. This is because you may well be the first pick up of the day. Please be at your assigned location at the start time that you chose when booking the tour.

Here you should wait for your guide.

Have your email and phone number listed with us so we can contact you if we run into any trouble finding you.

View our   pick-up locations   in Reykjavík.

Can I drink alcohol before or during Arctic Adventures tours?

Before and during activities on the multi-day tours consumption of alcohol is prohibited. If we suspect that a participant is intoxicated, we will prohibit them from joining the activity.

After the activities of the day are finished, you are welcome to have a drink and relax.

Do you offer any family friendly tours, for younger children?

Yes, we do.   Langjökull Ice Cave   is a magical experience, the tour has no minimum age and is a wonderful option for the whole family.   Whale Watching   with our partner company Elding has been a favourite with families traveling with young children, these guys have a great success rate in seeing whales (upwards of 98% in the summertime).

Another option would be the   Landmannalaugar Safari   on this tour you get to explore parts of the Icelandic highlands and bathe in natural hot springs. Most of our jeep tours are also suitable for children over the age of 6 years old. If you would like a nice and relaxing experience we would also recommend the Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon   tour.

How does carbon offsetting work?

We’ve partnered with the Kolviður Fund in a new carbon offsetting program, which passengers can select to participate in at the time of booking.

T he Kolviður Fund   is the oldest, most respected carbon offsetting program in Iceland. With your support, one tree will be planted in special Kolviður forests in Iceland to carbon offset your tour with us.

Kolviður forests are strategically planted to absorb the maximum amount of CO2 and the forests are protected for a minimum of 60 years. During their lifetime the trees absorb carbon and store it in their root system, trunk, and branches. Trees also prevent soil erosion and maintain storage of carbon in the soil.

Do you offer a tour that is solely the Golden Circle?

Yes, we offer the tour Golden Circle small group tour which is basically the Golden Circle with some extra stops. This tour is focusing on sightseeing and the history of Iceland. Our stops are Gullfoss waterfall, Þingvellir national park (home to one of the first parliaments of the world), Geysir hot spring area and the historic Skálholt cathedral.  View Golden Circle Tours .

How To Ride the GoldenPass Express | Swiss Panoramic Train

how to ride the goldenpass express prestige class aplins in the alps travel switzerland

Join us on the journey from mountains and glaciers to lakes and palm trees on the GoldenPass Express!

Want to Watch instead of Read ?

GoldenPass Express Stops

This direct, scenic train ride between Interlaken and Montreux takes 3 hours and 15 minutes . It runs through 3 different Swiss cantons and links the French and German speaking regions of Switzerland.

It also has 12 stops along the way (starting from Interlaken Ost): Interlaken West, Spiez, Wimmis, Oey-Diemtigen, Erlenbach, Boltigen, Zweisimmen, Saanenmöser, Schönried, Gstaad, Château-d’Oex, and Montbovon.

What’s special about the GoldenPass Express?

What’s so special about the GoldenPass Express? Well, besides the obvious panoramic views and splurge-worthy Prestige Class, it’s the first train in the world to change gauge widths !

That probably doesn’t sound very interesting at first, but we’ll tell you more about that later, and I’m sure it will make you even more impressed by Swiss engineering!

How To Ride the GoldenPass Express

Today we’re departing from Interlaken, but you can also take this same ride in reverse starting in Montreux. Of course you can look at the screens in the station to tell you which platform you’re departing from…or you could just look at the actual trains! The GoldenPass Express is a deep blue color with gold accents and nearly floor-to-ceiling windows. And since the name is painted on the side, it’ll be hard to miss!

GoldenPass Express Prestige Class Seat Tour

This is our third time riding the GoldenPass Express, and today we’re in Prestige Class. This is the highest tier Class with only 18 seats (9 per compartment) in a 1-2 seat configuration.

The staff can swivel your seats so that you’re always facing the direction of travel. But any videos seeming to suggest you can turn them at whatever angle you want are pretty misleading. They either have to face directly forward or directly backward. And you’re supposed to ask the staff to swivel your seats for you .

brett aplin riding the goldenpass express train from interlaken to montreux

And you really are gonna want to spend the entire 3 hours and 15 minutes gazing out these massive windows . Prestige Class is elevated by 40 centimeters (16 inches) so you get an even higher view of the passing landscapes.

views of snowy mountains from the goldenpass express train

Each individual seat is heated and can be manually adjusted to recline , offer more back support, and even to kick your feet up . Of course there’s a spacious tray table and reading lamp as well.

jana sitting with her feet up on the goldenpass express prestige class swivel chair

And there are even built-in EU, Swiss, and USB plugs on every chair . We’re always grateful for these outlets since we take so many pictures and videos along the way!

There are coat hooks and some space around the seats for small bags, but there are no luggage racks inside the Prestige Class area and no overhead bins so they don’t block the view. So if you have large bags, you can put them in the other part of the carriage on the luggage racks near the doors.

luggage racks in first class and prestige class goldenpass express panoramic train

Another thing that the Prestige Class doesn’t offer is its own bathroom . I was a bit disappointed about it the first time we rode in Prestige Class. Truthfully it’s not that big of a deal, but as someone with a small bladder who will use the bathroom at least twice during this journey, it could have been a really nice amenity upgrade!

GoldenPass Express Classes

The GoldenPass Express also has First Class and Second Class carriages. First Class has the same 1-2 seat configuration and a spacious cabin, while Second Class has the standard 2-2 and more people squeezed into one carriage.

goldenpass express prestige class seats and carriage

For context, each complete GoldenPass Express train has 18 Prestige Class seats, 48 First Class seats, and up to 133 Second Class seats. So really the biggest difference between First and Second class is the space , and the difference between First Class and Prestige Class is — well — why we made this video and blog!

The bathrooms are pretty comparable throughout all the Classes though — always clean, true to Swiss standards.

How the GoldenPass Express Train Changes Gauges

Zweisimmen is where the train changes gauges in 8 minutes flat .

The tracks between Interlaken and Zweisimmen are standard, which means they’re 1.435 meters. But the tracks between Zweisimmen and Montreux are metric, which means the gauge is 1 meter.

See the problem? Instead of changing all of the tracks to be the same gauge, the Swiss invented the first train with variable gauges.

That means this train travels along one track and then adjusts its width and height to continue along the rest of the journey.

Sure, that’s pretty cool…but what’s that mean for travelers like you and me? It just means that, unlike passengers who traveled this route prior to 2022, we don’t have to change trains in Zweisimmen anymore.

Interestingly enough, the train also changes locomotives here! That’s because it’s pushed from Interlaken to Zweisimmen and then pulled the rest of the way to Montreux!

GoldenPass Express Food Service

We love tasting local food . And even though we’ve lived in Switzerland for almost a year now, it’s still fun to see how the food tastes different from region to region.

goldenpass express food breakfast basket

We pre-ordered our food today, so when we first boarded the train we both enjoyed a breakfast basket with a fresh croissant, jam, butter, coffee, juice, and tea. And for brunch/lunch, we both enjoyed an apero meat and cheese platter with a Swiss wine (from the Lavaux).

By the way, all Classes have dining options . Prestige Class and First Class and Second Class all have in-seat food service, where an attendant comes around to take your orders, serve your food, and take your payment.

How To Book GoldenPass Express Seat Reservations

If you’ve seen our other resources, then you know that our goal is to help you travel Switzerland with confidence! And we want to help you plan a ride on the GoldenPass Express for yourself!

Seat reservations are optional for First and Second Class on the GoldenPass Express, but they are required for Prestige Class . They cost 49 CHF per person in Prestige Class or 20 CHF in either of the other classes, and can be purchased as far in advance as mid-December on the GoldenPass Express website .

GoldenPass Express Best Seats

Both sides of the train offer stunningly scenic views , and honestly they kinda switch back and forth depending on the section of the journey. But if we absolutely had to choose one side , we’d pick the right side on the way from Interlaken to Montreux or the left side coming from Montreux to Interlaken. This puts you right next to Lake Thun near Interlaken and gives you the best look as you loop around the Château du Châtelard before entering Montreux.

golden express tours

We highly recommend getting your seat reservations once your travel dates are locked in , especially for Prestige Class. But once you have your seat reservations, you technically don’t need to have your tickets until the day you travel.

GoldenPass Express Tickets

In 2024 , full price tickets for the GoldenPass Express between Interlaken and Montreux cost 56 CHF in Second Class , or 96 CHF in First Class or Prestige Class .

With the Swiss Half Fare Card those get cut by 50%, and the ride is fully covered by the Swiss Travel Pass , as well as the Eurail or Interrail Pass .

But you don’t actually have to have a First Class pass to ride in First Class or Prestige Class. If you’re traveling with a Second Class Swiss Travel Pass , for example, you can buy a Point-To-Point Class Upgrade for 40 CHF (or 20 CHF with a Half Fare Card or Swiss Travel Pass), which is equal to the difference in price between a First Class and Second Class ticket.

But you can also look to see if a Saver Day Pass will save you any money, especially if you have plans to ride beyond Interlaken or Montreux on the same day.

Finally, you might be wondering if the Berner Oberland Pass covers any of this route , and you would be correct! You can ride for free between Interlaken and Saanen, and you can buy a ticket from Saanen to Montreux at 50% off thanks to the Berner Oberland Pass — even without a Half Fare Card! That means you’d pay just 13.50 CHF in Second Class or 23 CHF in First Class for the whole GoldenPass Express route with a Berner Oberland Pass.

Just keep in mind that you’ll also need a Class Upgrade if you have a Second Class pass but want to ride in First or Prestige Class.

Tickets, Class Upgrades, and Saver Day Passes can be purchased on the SBB Mobile App up to 6 months in advance.

We demystify Swiss train passes, train tickets, the SBB app, and lots of other confusing things in our Ultimate Guide to Swiss Transportation . So be sure to check that out after this video if you need more help!

Other Variations and Options for the GoldenPass

While the GoldenPass Express is an amazing experience, it’s not your only option for this journey!

First , between Interlaken and Zweisimmen, you could ride the exact same route on “normal” trains . It takes about 15 minutes longer, and you’ll have to change trains in Spiez, and again in Zweisimmen. And since the ticket price for either train is exactly the same, the only reason to choose a normal train is if you don’t want to wait for one of the GoldenPass Express’ 4 daily departures.

Second, if you’re looking for something fancy, ride the elegant GoldenPass Express Belle Epoque train on the route between Zweisimmen and Montreux. It runs 2 times daily in both directions, and it won’t cost you any extra to ride in luxury, just like they did in the early 1900s. And by luxury we mean net shelves, fancy coat hooks, foldable tables, wood paneled ceilings, elaborate head rests, and even modern power outlets! Seat reservations cost 10 CHF per person in either First Class or Second Class, but they’re not required and usually not necessary.

Third, you could ride the GoldenPass Panorama, which also runs between Zweisimmen and Montreux, with departures pretty much hourly from about 8:00am to 6:00pm. Basically, if you don’t ride the GoldenPass Express or Belle Epoque train on this route, you’ll be on the GoldenPass Panorama.

Fourth , how do you feel about being a VIP? Some GoldenPass Panorama trains, but not all , have this really cool VIP section of only 8 seats where you’re literally on the end of the train. It’s such a unique view! But the thing is that you cannot reserve these seats in advance, and unfortunately there’s no way of knowing which trains have a VIP section available. But if you do see it on the train, you can simply pay the staff an extra fee to ride. It’s equivalent to a First Class ticket or seat upgrade plus the VIP supplement.

Fifth , you can actually connect your GoldenPass Express journey to Lucerne via the Luzern-Interlaken Express. This is currently a separate scenic train ride, but one day they hope to equip these same trains with a cogwheel so that it can travel the entire route between Montreux and Lucerne. That’s pretty cool because then there would be a metric gauge, standard gauge, and cogwheel network all on one train! And as a tourist it would just be nice to ride on one train the whole way between Montruex and Lucerne without any changes.

FAQ About The GoldenPass Express Switzerland

Hi Jana and Brett,

I love your videos and tip. I have Savers day pass and reserved golden pass express from interlaken to montreux. Can we hop out from the golden pass train in Zweisimmen to do a Belle Epoque train?

Hi Karen, you sure can! You won’t have a seat reservation for the Belle Epoque, but honestly it’s pretty unnecessary. Hope you enjoy your train rides!
