Press release: The Swiss train adventure of a lifetime with Roger Federer and Trevor Noah.
/EIN News/ -- New York, March 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Switzerland Tourism (ST) brand ambassador Roger Federer embarks on the train trip of a lifetime in new Switzerland Tourism campaign. Co-star Trevor Noah, a comedian, best-selling author, producer, and philanthropist, who, like Roger Federer, is half Swiss, half South African is the perfect match for this year’s campaign. The team behind the camera is also top-class: the film was directed by Oscar-winning Tom Hooper. The film positions Switzerland as an attractive travel destination, focusing on rail travel.
Roger Federer and Trevor Noah join each other on screen.
After an unparalleled tennis career, Roger Federer retired from top-level tennis last year. But he has continued to act as a brand ambassador for ST. This makes sense, since Roger Federer was – and will continue to be – not only Switzerland’s greatest sportsman, but also its greatest ambassador. After collaborating on screen with Robert De Niro in 2021 and Anne Hathaway in 2022, the campaigns earned global recognition and set new standards in national tourism advertising. With this 3rd film, ST, Roger Federer and Trevor Noah put the Grand Train Tour of Switzerland (GTToS) in the forefront.
The Grand Train Tour of Switzerland, an experience that’s one of a kind.
Roger Federer, is touring the GTToS in 2023. It combines all the famous panoramic routes in one breathtaking round-train trip and takes visitors to the country’s most famous sights comfortably and at their convenience. From glaciers to lakes and from mountains to cities: each stage of the Grand Train Tour of Switzerland has its own unique character. Visitors can discover Switzerland’s top experiences over 1,280 kilometers/795 miles and eight stages! Charming cities such as Lucerne, impressive natural wonders such as the Rhine Falls, and majestic mountains such as the Matterhorn and Jungfraujoch. The unparalleled train journey can be experienced all year round and put together just as you like in terms of duration and route. Want a little taste of what’s included? This could be, for example, the section from Montreux to Zermatt, leading from the Riviera on Lake Geneva to the mountain of mountains – the Matterhorn. Or it could be the route from St. Moritz to Lugano, taking you from glaciers to palm trees, which includes the Rhaetian Railway UNESCO World Heritage Route!
