The William Tell Express links German-speaking Central Switzerland with Italian-speaking Ticino. The tour starts in Lucerne, where you'll board a nostalgic paddle steamer for a 3-hour cruise on Lake Lucerne and enjoy a gourmet meal. At Fluelen, passengers board an air-conditioned panoramic train and travel through the steep ravines and precipitous cliffs of the Reuss Valley, passing the historic Gotthard railway tunnel. On the south side, many breath-taking bridges are crossed, passing by charming villages down the valley towards Lugano or Locarno.

The William Tell offers the trip on a paddle steamer in first class, and the train journey in first or second class air-conditioned coaches. Reservations are compulsory and include seats on the boat and train, the Swiss lunch as well as a detailed journey documentation and a souvenir. The William Tell Express operates only from May to October.
