Hourly from Lucerne to the eastern Swiss metropolis of St. Gallen
The Voralpen-Express runs hourly between Lucerne and St. Gallen and is the most beautiful combination of nature and culture. On the route, the view of the Rigi and the Schwyz Mythen mountains is mesmerising. The copper-coloured train rolls past the largest contiguous area of upland moorland in Switzerland near Rothenthurm and continues over the Rapperswil lake dam, allowing your gaze to wander far across Lake Zurich. Through the hilly Toggenburg region with its rustic charm and over the Sitter Viaduct, which at 99 metres is the highest railway viaduct in Switzerland, the Voralpen-Express reaches the eastern Swiss metropolis of St. Gallen, whose monastery district with its library is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
