Characteristics of a Panorama Express can include first- and second-class seating, air-conditioned coaches, and a limited number of intermediate stops. Advance reservations are often required but not necessarily compulsory. ^[2]

Examples

The following is a list of trains that operate under the PE category:

• Bernina Express , between Chur and Tirano (Italy)
• Glacier Express , between St. Moritz and Zermatt
• GoldenPass Express , a luxury train that operates between Montreux and Interlaken Ost
• Gotthard Panorama Express , which uses the Gotthard Railway between Arth-Goldau / Flüelen and Lugano (combines with a voyage on Lake Lucerne between Lucerne and Flüelen)
• Luzern-Interlaken Express, ^[3] which uses the Brünig Railway between Lucerne and Interlaken Ost

Previously, the Voralpen Express also ran as a PE, but it was subsequently changed to InterRegio (IR). ^[1]
