Traveling on the famous Swiss mountain railways from St. Moritz to Zermatt or the other way around, from the Piz Bernina to the Matterhorn. A 7 1/2-hour railway journey across 291 bridges and viaducts, through 91 tunnels, and over the Oberalp Pass at 2,033 m.a.s.l. A panoramic journey in the upper Alps, at the heart of Switzerland - this is the world-famous Glacier Express.
This railway "classic" is a rolling gateway to the most scenic sights of the Canton Grisons' holiday region, the high alpine Engadin valley with St. Moritz, and Davos, the highest city in Europe, and to the sunny Canton Valais with its glacier world and southern flair. A comfortable train leads through pristine nature - by aromatic, peaceful mountain pastures, gushing mountain streams and alpine valleys that are rich in the tradition of centuries.
The slowest fast train in the world shows a cross-section of the diversity of Switzerland, a unique travel treat. On board the Glacier Express, a chef specially prepares dishes for his guests at the dining car, and a Railbar serves coffee, beverages and snacks right to the passengers' seats.
The Glacier Express is an ideal journey at any time of the year. Seat reservations are required on all trains and can be made at any train station or travel agency in Switzerland.
