Discover one of the most beautiful European railway routes, the Lötschberg mountain route, which represents an important connection between the Bernese Oberland and the Valais.

One of the many highlights on this route is the 14,612 meter long Lötschberg summit tunnel. In addition to the freight and regional trains, many car loading trains also pass through this tunnel, which represents an important connection for road traffic there.

The route is world-famous among railway enthusiasts due to its double loop (turn tunnel) on the north ramp, its many engineering structures and the south ramp in the Rhone Valley. With the opening of the Lötschberg Base Tunnel in 2007, it accommodates a large part of the traffic between Frutigen and Brig. Since then, the mountain route has only been used by RegioExpress and freight trains, which do not have a route through the base tunnel.
