| Any frequent traveller will tell you that Switzerland operates
one of the finest public transportation system in the world. It
ensures fast, efficient travel to every part of the country. The
very latest in transport technology is at your service. |
|
|
| You can discover the scenic delights of Switzerland by rail, road
or waterway. Better still, you can combine all three by using
the Swiss Travel System. Save time and money by purchasing the Swiss Pass, Swiss Flexi
Pass, or Swiss Card. The system is as reliable and punctual as
a Swiss watch. Perfectly co-ordinated timetables ensure rapid
trouble-free interchange from one means of transport to another. |

By rail. Within minutes of flying into Switzerland, you can transfer from
plane to train. Fast trains depart hourly from the airport railway
stations of Zurich and Geneva, up to 16 hours a day. Hourly rail departures also operate between
all major Swiss cities. And Swiss trains are comfortable, clean
and punctual. In addition to efficient inter-city travel, an extensive
network of nearly 500 mountain railways (including aerial cableways,
funiculars and ski-lifts) will lift you up to the snow-capped
summits of the Swiss Alps. |
By road. If you prefer to see Switzerland by road, the Postbus service
provides the perfect opportunity. The bright yellow buses take
travellers off the beaten track to the remotest regions of the
country. They are a familiar sight along 700 scenic routes across
Switzerland. Their safety standards and record of reliability
are unrivalled. For the motorist, travelling throughout Switzerland
is safe and easy. Driving is on the right and distances are given
in kilometres. Major car-hire companies operate in Switzerland.
An extensive network of well-marked motorways spans the country.
By waterway. Travel on Switzerland's lakes and rivers is an unforgettable
holiday experience. Nearly 170 vessels operate in well-organized
fleets on more than 20 waterways throughout the country. Stately
steamers and modern motorships are equipped with restaurants,
some with bars. Cruises provide an excellent opportunity to see
scenic Switzerland from a different and delightful perspective. |
