A journey right across the Alps, between Zermatt and St. Moritz you will experience one of the wildest and most fascinating routes of Europe's railway history. In 7 hours, the cogwheel-driven mountain railway winds its way through 7 valleys, 91 tunnels and over 291 bridges.
The Glacier Express climbs over the Ober-alp Pass at an altitude of 2033 metres, then glides down through the Furka Basis Tunnel to the Valaisan Glacier basins.
During your journey in glass-covered panorama carriages you pass through ancient landscapes, past famous landmarks from all epochs and several tradition-conscious alpine peoples, accompanied by the murmuring of woods and brooks in summer, and by the crunching of snow under the tracks in winter. The Glacier Express provides all imaginable comfort.
The kitchen crew prepares fresh meals in the dining car, or you can sit comfortably in the minibar. And a fine drop of wine out of a crazy "leaning glass" will further enhance your pleasure in the unique mountain panorama.
