Le train panoramique suisse à la Cure

The "Nyon-Saint-Cergue-Morez" train line runs to La Cure, a border hamlet located 3 km from the village centre of Les Rousses, in Nyon, Switzerland. The famous little red tourist train allows you to admire one of the most beautiful panoramas of the Haut-Jura, embracing at a glance the basin of Lake Geneva, the admirable Alps and the Mont-Blanc.

A little history
With the completion of the Nyon-Saint-Cergue-Morez railway line in 1921, La Cure benefited from a link with Nyon in Switzerland and with Morez in France (PLM station). The French part of this line was closed in 1958, and the line now stops at La Cure, just before the border.
