For private group travel outside the city, we traveled from Fribourg to Zurich aboard the vintage Red Arrow Churchill, an electric train built for the Swiss National Exhibition in 1939. It was used afterward to transport dignitaries, including English Prime Minister Winston Churchill, for which the train is named. Available for daytime and evening meals, the rail cars have been lovingly restored for groups up to 90. The fine china, silverware, and black and white original photography herald the early days of sophisticated train travel and the birth of modern design in the Alps. We were bowled over when the little red train unexpectedly pulled into the station at Fribourg amid all of the gleaming white high-speed supertrains. It’s a fun surprise that planners can organize to lead off an affordable, highly memorable meal. For group rates, the Switzerland Convention & Incentive Bureau offers all manner of values. They can arrange for 25% rate reduction on flights and, once you’ve arrived, ensure free transit for groups to Basel, Lausanne and Geneva.
