The Gotthard Panorama Express combines two Swiss classics in a single day: a historic paddle steamer across Lake Lucerne and the panoramic train over the old Gotthard line down to Bellinzona and Lugano. Your private chauffeur picks you up at your address in the morning and brings you comfortably from Zürich to Lucerne, where the boat journey begins. No station stress, no searching for parking, no changing trains with your luggage — you simply step aboard.
On the deck of the paddle steamer you glide across Lake Lucerne all the way to Flüelen, after which the panoramic train with its large viewing windows takes over the route across the Gotthard into Ticino. While you enjoy the spiral tunnels, mountain villages and the church of Wassen from the panorama carriage, your chauffeur drives the route by road and waits for you at the destination station in the south — ready for Lugano, Bellinzona or a break by the water.
In the afternoon your private chauffeur brings you door to door back to Zürich in the Mercedes V-Class, in comfort and at your own pace. You travel privately, without a group and without the pressure of fixed connections. So all that remains of a long travel day is the very best of it: the views, the calm on board and a day in Ticino entirely without logistics.
