As is the case with all the best Swiss train rides, this Lake Geneva to Zurich connection runs panoramic trains, which have huge, arching windows. The train takes eight hours to weave through Switzerland’s fairytale interior, and although some track changes mean that slightly less exciting trains are on offer for part of the journey (changes are necessary), the lush meadows, mountains capped in crisp snow and idyllic lakes make the hassle worth it.
