The other interesting reason being that the Swiss public transport system includes panoramic Swiss train journeys like Glacier Express, Bernina Express, Goldenpass, Gotthard Panorama GoPEx, Pre-Alpine Express etc. While public transport is highly recommended, the beauty of covering high Swiss Alpine passes like Brünig, Grimsel, Furka, Susten, Nufenen, Albula, San Bernardino cannot be rules out. While these high alpine passes can be covered by private cars and van trips, one can also cover them by Swiss PostAuto coaches which is operated under Swiss public transport system.
