The dream of a direct link between Lake Geneva and the Lake Brienz and Lake Thun regions was born in the 19th century, and is finally about to become a reality. A world first and an exceptional project in terms of tourism, the GoldenPass Express will allow passengers to travel directly between Montreux and Interlaken without the need to change trains. A revolutionary variable gauge system will enable the train to switch from the metric gauge of the MOB (Montreux–Zweisimmen) to the normal gauge of the BLS (Zweisimmen–Interlaken) in just a few seconds.
