For the next generation: as comfortable as it is climate friendly.

Now you can travel through Europe with greater comfort and in a more climate-friendly manner: with the new ICE 4, the TGV Lyria and the Giruno. 

Upgrade for Swiss high-speed traffic.

From now on, three top international trains will provide improved connections between Switzerland and neighbouring countries: the new ICE 4 and the modernised fleet of TGV Lyria have been in cross-border service since the timetable change in December 2019. The Swiss Giruno fleet is also being gradually integrated into the timetable since the timetable change and is expected to operate on routes to Milan from summer 2020.

While the trains take you to your destination quickly and in a climate-friendly manner, you can slow down on your journey and enjoy our services.
