The TGV – a legend on Europe's railways
The TGV high-speed train has been connecting Switzerland and France since 1984. In our opinion, the TGV is one of the most comfortable trains in both first and second class. The new trains, which have been on the rails since 2020, offer free Wi-Fi throughout the journey and power sockets at every seat.
French and Swiss specialties from the bistro make the journey a special experience, with your holiday beginning right at the station. Travel in luxury in Business Première Classe, where welcome drinks and a menu are delivered directly to your seat.
