Dampfbahn Furka Bergstrecke (Steam Railway)

A truly unique experience, the Dampfbahn Furka Bergstrecke is a historic steam railway that operates on the original Furka mountain line between Realp and Oberwald. This heritage railway offers a nostalgic journey through breathtaking alpine landscapes, including the famous Steffenbach bridge and panoramic views of the Rhone Glacier (reachable by a short hike from the Gletsch station). The trains are pulled by beautifully restored steam locomotives. A round trip from Realp to Oberwald and back typically takes around 4 hours. Tickets range from approximately CHF 50-80 for a single journey or CHF 80-120 for a return, with special rates for children. Operating season is typically from late June to mid-October.
