Glacier Express
Looking for that dream trip? Then look no further! Simply climb aboard the Glacier Express, sit back and enjoy travelling on one of the world’s most spectacular railway lines. With seven hours of stunning scenery, you won’t be disappointed!
Travel from the Piz Bernina to the Matterhorn, from St. Moritz to Zermatt. Or vice versa – the choice is yours! Through the glass roof of the panorama car, enjoy uninterrupted views of green valleys, tranquil villages, alpine meadows and steep rock faces. The rivers of ice of the awe-inspiring glaciers may make you shiver, but the sunshine reflecting off distant snow fields will warm you again, to the thunderous roar of mountain rivers – truly a dream journey!

Up. Down. Up

On leaving Zermatt, the train descends 1,000 m, travelling down and along Switzerland’s deepest valley. From Brig, travel up the Rhone valley, past picturesque villages, before passing through the Furka tunnel to Andermatt – by now, you may well be enjoying lunch with a view in the restaurant car. From Andermatt, the train winds its way slowly up over the Oberalp pass – at 2,033 m a.s.l., the highest point on the journey. Passing the source of the Rhine river, you find yourself in the Vorderrhein valley. Continuing on down towards Disentis, with its Benedictine monastery and beautiful baroque church, you will soon pass Reichenau, where the train leaves the valley, heading up towards Thusis, and shortly after, crossing the breathtaking Landwasser viaduct on the Albula line. The Albula tunnel brings you out into the Engadine valley, only a stone’s throw from fashionable St. Moritz. Sightseeing at its best – a dream journey which really exists…
