Salon Rouge: Enjoy Riding in Style

In and with our Salon Rouge gastronomy carriage from the Belle Époque, epicures will experience a unique concept in a class of its own. The offer appeals to all five senses in an enjoyable way!

Half an hour later, the composition steams off with a historic coal-fired steam locomotive and the Salon Rouge in Brienz. Passing forests and flower meadows with cosy stops along the way and a total of eleven courses, our Salon Rouge guests will be fully pampered – experience gastronomy at its best!
