Lötschberg Regio Express
The beautiful way to between the Bernese Oberland and the valley
Tlthough the new Lötschberg base tunnel, which was opened in 2007, has cut journey times between the Valais and Bernese Oberland regions, you miss a lot by being in the new longer tunnel. The original 100 year old route has its great attractions - the impressive view of the Rhone Valley, the attractive village of Kandesrsteg which is revealed after leaving the old tunnel and the descent with incredable loops around the remains of the Felsenburg tower and the impoising Kander Viaduct before arriving in the popular lakeside resort of Spiez. The wonderful old town of Thun is further 10 minutes by train round the lake. More details
