Pros

Travelling comfort

View

Punctuality

Cons

No wifi

We first travelled from Bern to Lucerne on Interregio 2519 and then took the Lucerne-Interlaken Express 2932 from there. It's not the most direct route, but the great views and a flying visit to Lucerne make up for it! It took us an hour from Bern to Lucerne and then an hour and fifty minutes from Lucerne to Interlaken. The trains were typically punctual in Switzerland. Travelling in first class is extremely comfortable, there is plenty of space and you don't need to reserve a seat. The train from Lucerne to Interlaken also has panoramic windows from which you can enjoy the scenery. The toilets were clean and the staff were friendly. It's just a shame that there was no wifi on the train.
