Day 3 – The Glacier Express
After breakfast this morning, we embark on what is undoubtedly
one the highlights of our holiday, enjoying a journey on the iconic
Glacier Express. Affectionately referred to as 'the slowest express
train in the world', we wonder at the panoramic views across
sprawling Alpine landscapes as the train makes its way through
quintessentially Swiss mountain scenery.
The climax of our journey comes as we cross the famous
Landwasser Viaduct and traverse the terrain of the upper Rhine
Valley. The train climbs steadily up and over the Oberalp Pass, the
peak of the route, then spirals downwards past countless villages
before reaching the town of Chur. Here, we transfer to our hotel*
for the night.
*Hotel may vary depending on departure date.
