Tips & Bits Faster Swiss Travel Switzerland just opened a new 22-mile long Loetschberg Base Tunnel under the Alps that cuts travel time by 45-75 minutes within Switzerland and between Switzerland and Italy. Built at a cost of 4.3 billion Swiss francs (about $3.5 billion US), the new tunnel - which will be the longest tunnel on land - was open to freight traffic this summer, and will eventually carry 42 passenger trains daily in addition to freight trains. All InterCity trains from Basel/Bern/Zurich to Brig and on to Italy will use the new tunnel. Trains will be able to run at speeds up to 124 mph, and double-decker trains will be able to run to Brig.

Most airlines have already published holiday fares. Some fare sales only last a few days so be prepared to act quickly when you see a deal. ...More Recent Articles |
