World premiere on the panoramic route since December 2022 The "GoldenPass Express", which has been in operation since December 2022, is a link between the Vaud Riviera and the Bernese Oberland. It enables a fascinating journey without changing trains between Montreux, Gstaad and Interlaken. In 3 hours and 15 minutes, an entire country passes by in all its diversity. It is no coincidence that the first panoramic carriages in Switzerland circulated on this route forty years ago: the journey from Zweisimmen via Gstaad, the Saanenland, the Vaud Pays d'Enhaut and through the vineyards down to Montreux on Lake Geneva - or vice versa - is one of the most attractive in Switzerland and offers fantastic postcard views. Until now, Zweisimmen was the hub. Anyone travelling from Bern or Interlaken and wanting to take the Montreux-Berner Oberland-Bahn (MOB) train on the famous panoramic route to Lake Geneva had to change at the foot of the Rinderberg. The BLS runs on a standard gauge of 1,435 metres as far as Zweisimmen; the route through the Saanenland and the Vaud Pays d’Enhaut to Montreux with the MOB, on the other hand, is a metre gauge. With the “GoldenPass Express”, an age-old vision becomes reality: the stress of changing trains in Zweisimmen is eliminated – an important relief for individual and group travellers who experience the “GoldenPass route” as the highlight of their tour through Switzerland. In Zweisimmen, travellers remain seated in the comfortable carriages of the second, first or prestige class while a spectacular technical process takes place beneath the train. Thanks to a technology designed by MOB and further developed by Alstom, the car body is raised from 350 to 550 millimeters. And the track width of the bogies is reduced from 1.435 meters to one meter. Other companies have also equipped their trains with variable bogies, such as the Spanish Talgo. However, the bogie of the "GoldenPass Express" is the only one with such a strong reduction or widening of the track.

Gauge change at Zweisimmen station from meter gauge to standard gauge since December 2022 Thanks to the gauge change system at Zweisimmen station, the chassis spread so that the train can change from meter gauge (1M.) to standard gauge (1M.435) and vice versa. The carriages also rise and adapt to the platform (55cm on standard gauge, 35cm on meter gauge) Text / Source: Compagnie du chemin de fer Montreux Oberland bernois SA, Rue de la Gare 22, Montreux
