Unusual and exclusive.

“This is an exclusive offer and something different! It is very practical for a long journey and you can use the time optimally on a special event train such as this. We had an excellent lunch and our guests enjoyed the high-class journey to the full. Our contact at SBB provided very good advice and support in the run-up and supported us throughout the trip. The contact / travel guide on the train was also very accommodating and met all our spontaneous requirements. A big thank you to everyone in the team who were there for our group the whole time.”

Weleda AG

Travelling there quickly, calmly and free of stress.

Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (VBS).

Personal service.

“We were very satisfied with the personal service and the way our special requirements were met. It is a good way to transport a large number of people together, so that they arrive relaxed at the event venue.” 

UNIA (trade union) 

A sustainable and environmentally-friendly “way forward”. 

“We chose SBB as a partner because we wanted to make a conscious decision in favour of public transport as a sustainable and environmentally-friendly ‘way forward’.” 

Implenia AG 

Very competent and flexible handling of the project.

“The ‘Salon de Luxe’ saloon car was perfect for our presentations and as a means of transport to the next destination. I am planning further journeys with SBB Charter.” 

ABB 

A sustainable form of transport. 

“The journey on the special event train is a good start to the event and is the most sustainable form of transport.”

Coop

Added value for all parties.

“Thanks to the excellent cooperation we were able to launch a great new offer for festivalgoers, which means added value for all parties.”

Migros, M-Budget special event trains

Straightforward, friendly and efficient.

“We have had an ideal point of contact for years who knows all our travel requirements and makes sure our needs are met. Also, there is never a lack of trip suggestions. We have chosen to travel with SBB for many years based on these factors.”

Novartis Retirement Association

Working session with lunch on the way to Geneva.

“We planned the journey to Geneva in a separate coach, as the partners in our department intended to hold a working session on the way to Geneva. They had confidential matters to discuss and did not want to miss lunch. Our contact for the journey gave us a warm welcome and took care of our catering requirements. We were very satisfied and would recommend it any time.”

KPMG AG

Thanking my employees in a different and special way.

“I thought it was very positive that all the planning work / clarifications were handled by SBB and I could just ‘sit back’. I wanted to thank my employees in a different and special way. And as I assume that very few had had the pleasure of travelling on a TEE, it was an easy decision. My contact took a great deal of time to plan the optimal trip with me, including the corresponding supporting programme. Everything worked out superbly! I received all the documents required shortly before the journey. On the day of travel itself the support from the travel guide was very good and informative.”

Migros MMM Buchs

Using the train journey for a partner meeting. 

“The comprehensive services in the ‘Salon de Luxe’ with individual planning, organisation and design according to our wishes was the ideal experience for the 2018 partner meeting of Grant Thornton Holding AG. We were very pleased with the versatility and sophisticated facilities in the Salon de Luxe. The organisation was smooth and reliable, along with the friendly and competent service from the SBB Account Manager. The 2018 partner meeting of Grant Thornton Holding AG was therefore a complete success!”

Grant Thornton AG

Experience the journey on a nostalgic train with a cab-view ride.

“Such a train journey is something unique. The enthusiasm of the participants knew no bounds. We opted for this journey because we wanted to offer our members something special for their many years of commitment to the association. We were looked after wonderfully by the travel guide, and the service staff and the organiser from Elvetino were excellent. Many of the ladies chose the option of a cab-view ride where they could ask the engine driver questions, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for this experience. We were also impressed by the efficiency of the chef who cooked for so many people in a limited space.”

Anniversary trip of the Affoltern a.A. ladies’ gymnastics club

It was an unforgettable anniversary celebration. 

“The whole package was just right! Starting with the lead-up to the event: very customer-orientated consultation, where they listened to what we wanted with regard to the SBB Charter train journey, and the professional catering offer and advice from Elvetino. On the day itself too, the travel guide was friendly and attentive and the catering team was well-organised. The engine driver also ensured that our journey was safe and pleasant. We spent a lovely, unforgettable day of celebration with family in the legendary Red Arrow ‘Churchill’, which will remain very special to us! We were all completely delighted. Thank you to all those involved.”

Jacqueline Rieder, Rüti

Wedding trip with the “Churchill”.

“We appreciated the friendly and competent dealings with our contact. He accommodated all our requirements, showed initiative, and fielded a variety of questions, which he always answered promptly. We chose to travel with SBB as we use the trains almost every day. It was logical that it should be part of our big day.”

Rast / Berger wedding trip

A dream to travel on the Red Arrow.

Organiser of a wedding trip

A great deal of freedom in designing the journey.

“What I liked best was that it was individual and there was a great deal of freedom in designing the journey. It was a unique experience for most of the guests. SBB looked after us excellently.”

Organiser of a birthday trip

The chef and the service staff did a superb job.

“The journey on the Red Arrow was an unforgettable experience. The trip included a very interesting programme of activities. It was first-rate and smoothly organised. The travel guide understood how to keep the passengers happy with interesting information and stories. The chef and the service staff also did a superb job and indulged the passengers with fantastic food. It was also a special highlight to be able to experience a cab-view ride for a few kilometres along the way.”

Urs Tillmanns, specialist journalist for a daily photography website

Friendly and reliable.

“We were supported in a very friendly and reliable way with the organisation of this major event. It was an advantage from a social perspective that the entire school could travel on a special event train.”

Hohe Promenade Cantonal School, Zurich (skiing special event train)

Making contacts during the train journey.

“The journey by train to the snow sports day was more ecological than by chartered bus. The timetable was adapted precisely to our requirements and could be adhered to (in contrast with a chartered bus which might suddenly get caught up in traffic jams). The pupils were able to use the toilet and walk around in the train coaches, so there is much more social contact with other pupils. We received the best service at every stage!”

Stadelhofen Cantonal School

More ecological than by chartered bus.

“We were very satisfied with the high level of flexibility and punctuality. The journey on the special event train is more ecological than travelling by chartered bus.”

Am Brühl Cantonal School, St. Gallen

Travelling to the winter sports day with individual rail travel.

“Our school appreciated the opportunity to organise a trip in this way with individually tailored rail travel. This makes it ecologically acceptable to attend a winter sports day.”
