It takes eight hours to travel from St. Moritz to Zermatt, at an average speed of 35 km/h. But this panoramic train, which spans 291 bridges, passes through 91 tunnels and climbs more than 2,000 metres to the Oberalp Pass, is made to take its time. The Glacier Express is an original way to visit Switzerland and offers a breathtaking view of the grandiose scenery of its mountains. An extraordinary experience, a vertiginous and intoxicating adventure.
You won’t be bored for a single second! High peaks and peaceful lakes, vast pastures and dense forests, narrow gorges and majestic glaciers: the wonders, sculpted by the colossal forces of nature, parade one after the other past the wide windows of the train, which rise up to the roof, for a pleasure of 360°, or almost.
Multilingual audioguides and a catering service at the train station provide a pleasant accompaniment to this spectacular journey through the heart of the Swiss Alps. Read more
