The Magic of Switzerland

Think you know Switzerland? Think again!

We all have ideas of what a country is like but, if we’re honest, it rarely goes beyond stereotypes. SBB and Omio invite you to explore the real Switzerland, from meeting the welcoming locals to uncovering breathtaking landscapes.

With SBB, discovering Switzerland’s secret side is a breeze. Swiss rail is one of the world’s best train networks (and most punctual), so you can reach every corner of Switzerland in comfort and ease, meaning you can spend more time exploring this Alpine country’s unique side.

Discover vistas sweeter than any chocolate, find out how time can stand still in the land of clocks, and understand why the sight of the Matterhorn leaves even the Swiss speechless (despite speaking four official languages).

Switzerland is more than cheese, cows and clocks, but you’ve got to see it for yourself!

Experience Switzerland by Train

If Switzerland is known for anything, it’s its abundant nature and thrilling landscapes. With the Alps as a stunning backdrop, visitors and locals alike can breathe in the fresh mountain air or swim in its crystal clear lakes. Photos don’t do it justice—you have to see all those magical colours for yourself.

Omio offers trains and buses that link vibrant metropolises from Geneva and Basel to Zurich and Lugano to idyllic small towns such as Montreux and Yverdon-les-Bains. For a better future for all, the Swiss trains are just part of a highly efficient public transport network which also offers buses, trams and boats, so you can leave the car parked and help keep Switzerland picture-perfect.

Don’t settle for a filtered photo. See the real Switzerland via train, bus, boat or tram this summer.
