Gotthard Express & Lugano Day Tour | From Lucerne Discount Tickets

Overview

This full-day journey connects central and southern Switzerland along one of the country’s most scenic historic routes. The experience begins with a relaxing cruise across Lake Lucerne, surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery and traditional lakeside villages. From Flüelen, the Gotthard Express panoramic train continues the journey through the heart of the Alps, passing spiral tunnels, historic engineering landmarks, and the famous Wassen Church. As the route crosses the mountains, the landscape gradually transforms from rugged Alpine terrain to the sun-filled valleys of Ticino. The tour concludes in Lugano, where palm-lined promenades, elegant squares, and Italian-style streets create a distinctly Mediterranean atmosphere. Combining lake travel, a classic mountain railway, and a cultural city visit, this tour showcases Switzerland’s natural beauty, engineering heritage, and unique blend of cultures in a single day. *In 2026, Gotthard Panorama Express will run from Apr 18 to Oct 18.
