For those members who suspected neckervd's topic seemed not quite right, it has been confirmed as legitimate.

I'd personally never suspect a post by neckervd.

I've seen those trains neckervd, and wondered about them, but figured they'd cost a small fortune, and we're more than content with SBB regional trains, but first timers might really enjoy giving them a go.

You've piqued my interest in La Gatta vineyard though.

580 chf - 625 chf per adult round trip. Holy crap.

Thanks, but no.
