The Voralpen-Express
The Voralpen-Express, which runs hourly between Lucerne and St.Gallen, is the most convenient and attractive connection from central to eastern Switzerland.

Commuters as well as leisure travellers and tourists will travel in the fully air-conditioned trains with the latest technology. All vehicles have two bistro zones with coffee and snack vending machines. There is also a unique family compartment at the end of the train.
