The GoldenPass Express (specifically the "Luzern-Interlaken Express" leg) operates on a very frequent, "high-fidelity" hourly schedule throughout the year. In 2026, trains typically depart from Lucerne (Luzern) every hour, usually at 6 minutes past the hour (e.g., 07:06, 08:06, 09:06), with the first service starting around 06:06 AM and the final direct service of the day departing around 06:06 PM or 08:06 PM depending on the season. The journey takes approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes and is one of the most scenic rail routes in Switzerland, featuring panoramic windows that showcase the Brünig Pass and several turquoise lakes. While you can use a standard Swiss Travel Pass to board, it is highly recommended to check the official SBB (Swiss Federal Railways) app or website for the exact daily timetable, as minor adjustments may occur for track maintenance. For the best views of the waterfalls and Lake Brienz, try to secure a seat on the right-hand side of the train when traveling from Lucerne toward Interlaken.
