Switzerland, as one of the most appealing destinations, invites global travelers to experience the country’s most impressive panoramic routes. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Grand Train Tour: Switzerland Tourism, Swiss Travel System AG, The Embassy of Switzerland in Indonesia, and KCIC inaugurated the “Travel Switzerland” Exhibition at Whoosh Halim Station. The exhibition opens to the public from 24 April to 24 May 2026. The exhibition also marks another important milestone, the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Indonesia.
Presented at one of Indonesia’s leading transportation hubs, the exhibition invites visitors to discover Switzerland through one of its most iconic travel experiences. The Grand Train Tour of Switzerland brings together the country’s panoramic rail journeys into one spectacular 1,280-kilometer route, taking travelers through charming towns, Alpine villages, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and some of Switzerland’s best-known landmarks.
During the opening ceremony, each delivered remarks regarding this collaboration:
H.E. Olivier Zehnder, Ambassador of Switzerland to Indonesia, Timor-Leste, and ASEAN, said, “In Switzerland, the railway is not only a means of transport; it is one of the most beautiful ways to discover our country. To present this exhibition at Whoosh Halim Station is therefore especially meaningful, as it brings together two countries that understand how mobility can connect people, open horizons, and create new opportunities.”
Batiste Pilet, Director Southeast Asia of Switzerland Tourism, said, “The Grand Train Tour of Switzerland offers travelers a unique way to experience the diversity of our country – from panoramic rail journeys and mountain landscapes to historic towns and cultural landmarks. On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, we are pleased to bring this story to Indonesia and to invite visitors to discover Switzerland as a destination where the journey itself is part of the experience.”
Dwiyana Slamet Riyadi, President Director of KCIC, said, “This collaboration marks an important momentum for Whoosh to expand its international exposure while strengthening its positioning as a world-class transportation service. The presence of the Travel Switzerland Exhibition at Halim Station highlights Whoosh not only as a mobility solution but also as a platform for cross-country collaboration. Through its association with the Grand Train Tour of Switzerland as a global icon of rail travel, we aim to introduce Whoosh to a broader audience while inspiring passengers and reaffirming our commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable, and seamless travel experiences.”
Located in the waiting lounge, visitors are invited to explore the 3D backdrop of the iconic panoramic view of the Bernina Express on the UNESCO World Heritage route, an introduction to Swiss rail travel, and learn more about the Grand Train Tour of Switzerland, including its routes, and the integrated public transport system that makes travel across the country seamless and reliable. Another highlight is the GoldenPass Express, which was launched two years ago, the new luxurious scenic train. What’s more, “Scan and Win” for a chance to win a Swiss Travel Pass. It’s an all-in-one ticket for train, bus, and boat around Switzerland, with free admission to more than 500 museums. Parents with a Swiss Travel Pass traveling with their children under 16 years old, their children ride for free.
The exhibition carries particular significance in 2026, as Switzerland and Indonesia celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations. In this context, the initiative reflects how tourism and mobility can serve as meaningful expressions of a broader bilateral relationship – one built not only through official cooperation, but also through exchange between people, places, and ideas.
