Valentine’s Day in Switzerland has a wonderfully transport‑themed charm: across the country, railways and lake fleets roll out special candlelit journeys that turn a simple ride into an experience. From fondue trains winding through snowy valleys to evening cruises gliding across still winter lakes, these seasonal outings blend scenery, nostalgia, and a touch of Swiss indulgence.
