Glacier Express - The slowest express train in the world
Ride the rails up into the clouds, through untouched Alpine countryside, over roaring mountain streams, past towering walls of rock. This panoramic journey through the Swiss Alps includes 291 bridges, 91 Tunnels and the crossing of the Oberalp Pass, at over 2,000 metres above sea level. The seven-and-a-half hour ride between St. Moritz / Davos and Zermatt aboard a classic Alpine train is an experience to remember - with high-points at the places of departure and arrival.
The elegant and exclusive resort town of St. Moritz is reflected in the railway that serves it. Enjoy a taste of luxury, then hike with breathtaking views of the mountain backdrop of the Engadin region, or take a stroll through Davos, the highest-altitude town in Europe. Zermatt is the home of the world’s most-photographed mountain: Matterhorn. Wallis is the area’s uniquely impressive, traffic-free spa town. The Graubünden towns are connected by the UNESCO World Heritage railway, which also runs through Switzerland’s «Grand Canyon», the Rheinschlucht Gorge. Your freshly-prepared lunch is served to you in the comfort of your own window seat (from/to Davos: in the dining car). We know that only the best is good enough for you.
Ideal for: bons vivants, families and lovers of culture.
Sightseeing attractions: St. Moritz and the UNESCO World Heritage railway, plus the Landwasser Viaduct, the Rheinschlucht Gorge, the Oberalp Pass, the Furka Tunnel, Zermatt and Matterhorn.
