The Glacier Express Route

Take a front-row seat to one of the world's most scenic railway journeys on the Glacier Express. Venturing through the mountains at around 24 miles per hour, this world-renowned train travels from the glitzy resort town of St. Moritz to the enchanting car-free village of Zermatt.

Leaving St. Moritz, the train travels toward Switzerland's oldest town, Chur, and onto Andermatt, with snow-capped peaks lining the course. Marvel at the majesty of the Swiss landscape as the Glacier Express descends into the Rhone Valley, where meadows and vast river gorges paint a scenic tapestry, and the Rhine Gorge, called the "Grand Canyon of Switzerland." Incredible feats of engineering, such as spiral tunnels and the Landwasser Viaduct, complement the journey, making this route a jaw-dropping example of Swiss beauty from beginning to end.
