The speed of the line isn't the tricky part in these Swiss tunnel projects. Switzerland's trains aren't as fast simply because Switzerland is too small and too dense to require it. The fastest Swiss trains are still pretty fast though at 200km/h.
Much more relevant are the insane projects achieved. The Gotthard Tunnel project is probably one of the hardest things humanity has ever achieved (on par with the moon landing).
