GoldenPass MOB Belle Epoque
The GoldenPass MOB Belle Epoque train that runs on the Montreux–Zweisimmen line offers a journey with a romantic, retro-style ambience. Its coaches are inspired by the Golden Mountain Pullman Express from the 1930s, a luxury train in the style of Orient Express that was short-lived due to the economic crisis of the period. It disappeared from circulation rather quickly. The current train is a reproduction of the Belle Époque style of its predecessors, in which you will travel like a king. You can even find a coach that houses a wine cellar where you can taste wines from the area in a warm, convivial atmosphere.
Both Standard and First-Class seating are available. The main difference between the two classes is the seating configuration – 2x1 in First Class and 2x2 in Standard. This allows for larger, more comfortable seats, a quieter travel environment and more space for storing luggage.
