The Glacier Express, Switzerland
Board the Glacier Express for an unforgettable train ride through the Swiss Alps
Even though the Glacier Express moves at a snail’s pace through the Swiss Alps, it’s impossible to get bored when the scenery is hypnotizing every inch of the way. It runs from Zermatt to St. Moritz and passes through steep valleys, gorges, and tunnels, over bridges, past snow-capped peaks, and through flower-filled meadows – and why we recommend going in summer.
