Swiss train ride to see the Alps

Anyone know of a scenic Swiss train ride (day time) to see the Alps?

Thanks

We will be there September 2025. Most likely coming from Munich, but we could be in Neukirch an der Thur, Switzerland.

My niece has a goal of riding a camel on every continent. We have done the easy ones - Africa and Asia.

I have found camel farms outside Berlin, Germany and in Neukirch an der Thur, Switzerland. This isn't too far from Lucern or Basel.

Thanks -

Go from Munich to Neukirch an der Thur via train/bus (you'll have to leave early in the morning to arrive in the afternoon in time for your camel time), then continue by bus/train to Luzern that evening to stay. After your stay in Luzern, take the scenic train ride from Luzern to Interlaken and spend some time staying up in the Alps in a place like Wengen. Alternatively, after your camels, go to Zurich for the night and then the next day ride the Bernina Express to St. Moritz. Your choice might be informed by where you're going afterwards or flying out of.

had you noticed that the Swiss camel one is only open one day a week in winter and only 2 days a week in summer?

really only by car. Not easy to reach by train or bus
