Train ride from Berne to Lausanne

Speeding through the lush green Fribourg countryside into the heart of the "Röstigraben", the local name for Switzerland's German/French language border zone (25 mins from Berne).
---

The train halts in Palézieux, one of the first villages in the western, French-speaking "Romandie" on the other side of the Röstigraben. (55 mins from Berne)
---

The train rounds a bend and the rolling fields of the Romandie suddenly give way to Vaud's dramatic vined slopes, leading down to Lake Geneva with a view to the mountains of the Valais (60 mins from Berne)
