Switzerland by rail is not transport — it is the experience itself. The Lauterbrunnen Valley walls — 1,000 feet of sheer cliff on both sides with waterfalls dropping to the floor — are one of the most dramatic landscapes in Europe. Wengen sits above it all, car-free and quiet, with the Jungfrau massif filling the sky to the south.
