Swiss Summer by Train: From Zurich to Geneva 🚄🇨🇭☀️

#summervacay This summer, I took a beautiful and relaxing journey across Switzerland — from Zurich to Geneva by train — and it was the perfect way to explore the country at a gentle pace. The SBB InterCity train ride itself was smooth, scenic, and super comfortable. As we left Zurich, the landscape quickly shifted from city buzz to peaceful countryside — rolling green hills, pristine lakes, and postcard villages all along the way. I made stops in Lucerne, Lausanne, and the stunning Lavaux region, where I stayed in Grandvaux for a few days (highly recommended for vineyard views and peaceful walks). The final leg into Geneva offered sweeping views over Lake Geneva, with the Alps rising in the background — an unforgettable arrival. Geneva itself was lively and elegant, with lakeside cafés, cultural spots, and a perfect end to a slow-travel adventure. If you’re visiting Switzerland in summer, skip the car and take the train — it’s efficient, eco-friendly, and lets you really see the country. The Zurich–Geneva route is a perfect way to do it. Highlights: ✅ Easy direct train (2h 40m) ✅ Scenic views all the way ✅ Great stops: Lucerne, Lausanne, Lavaux ✅ Quiet luxury meets natural beauty
