Alpenrail Swiss Model Village and Railway

Hobart TAS 7011
This miniature display of the scenic charms of Switzerland covers an area greater than a couple of average size houses. The Bernese Alps, alpine villages, rivers and lakes are laid out before you and connected by a bustling rail system.
The Jenni family have spent more than 20,000 hours creating the locomotives, rolling stock, bridges, buildings, chair lifts, cable cars and trees. Work began in 1977, and although the model appears complete, new features, such as a severe thunderstorm, are always being added.
Exquisite sunrise and sunset effects occur to the haunting sound of the alp horn, but otherwise the background is lively Swiss music. Young children will enjoy controlling Thomas the Tank Engine and Smurf Train displays themselves.
Our attraction now also includes “Wildwoods Gardens” – a beautiful garden of about one acre developed as a fairy garden theme so now we have something specific for girls and boys. Admission includes entry to both attractions.
