Aare Linth

Zug der Schweizerischen Südostbahn am Walensee
The Aare Linth connects Bern, Zurich and Chur directly - past charming towns, glittering lakes and impressive landscapes. A railway journey between the Federal Palace and the Grisons mountains.

The modern trains on the Bern-Chur route offer plenty of space and comfort - with bright interiors, family compartments and bistro areas that make every journey a relaxing experience. En route, the Aare Linth passes charming towns such as Solothurn and Baden, which invite you to linger with their historic old towns, cultural offerings and local recreation areas.

Impressive lake landscapes open up to the east: Lake Zurich and Lake Walen invite you to enjoy water sports, hikes or cosy hours on the lakeside promenades. Whether for a day trip, the start of a holiday or simply a relaxing journey through Switzerland - the Aare Linth combines city, country and river in a particularly beautiful way.
