Luzern–Interlaken Express: Lucerne to Interlaken Ost Rail Journey Itinerary

This scenic journey follows Lucerne – Lungern – Brienz – Interlaken Ost and centres on lakes and alpine passes. From Lucerne, the railway passes through changing lakeside and upland scenery before descending towards Brienz and Interlaken. The journey is long enough to feel like a distinct experience but short enough to leave much of the day available at either end. Plan the rail portion first, then add independent time at the destination where the booked service allows it. Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.

Email us your preferred dates, traveler count and seating or cabin priorities. We will check the most appropriate departure and prepare a considered proposal.
