Description

Swiss Vapeur Parc at Le Bouveret: A Miniature Wonderland!

Come to Swiss Vapeur Parc and cross invisible boundaries into the world of fantasy. We open our doors wide to a land of fun and wonder. Travel on our fabulous little trains and explore the essence of what is Swiss embodied in miniature models (truer than reality) and rediscover the innocent pleasures of childhood.

This unique park displays its attractions in an area of over 17’000 m² at Le Bouveret, in a pleasant location adjacent to the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland.
One miniature train enthusiast, having come from afar to admire this touristic marvel of lower Valais, confided that all the troubles of everyday life seem to disappear within the gates of the park. Only a child’s earliest experiences of joy can come close to expressing the first sensations of a trip on a miniature train. The little trains chug along as if by magic through a sumptuous decor displaying miniature replicas from the rich heritage of Switzerland: the Castle of Aigle, the Church of Saanen, the Halls of Neuchâtel, the Swiss Residence, railway buildings and constructions of every sort (bridges, viaducts, tunnels, etc.), conjuring up a journey into a land of dreams!

The trains are made up of one or two locomotives to which are coupled up 4 to 8 passenger cars. The trains are put into operation as needed by the arrival of visitors.

The Swiss Vapeur Parc operates 16 locomotives and self propelled passenger cars. Of these:

  • 9 are steam powered engines. Whereas heating of the water is done with coal, except for 1 which is fired with gas.
  • 4 self-propelled cars have a built-in gas engine with hydrostatic transmission.
  • 4 are with a generator with gasoline and electrical motors.
