Onboard the Glacier Express Train

The Glacier Express is often known as the 'Orient Express of the Alps' and is also renowned for being the slowest express train in Europe.  Travelling along the narrow-gauge railway, idyllic vistas unfold as you wind through striking ravines and snow-covered peaks.  Travelling towards Zermat, which is situated near the foot of the Matterhorn, you will enjoy a wonderful tour through Switzerland's most beautiful landscapes.  The train features fantastic panoramic windows and a glass skylight which allows you optimum views of the Alpine scenery.  Enjoy a glass of chilled wine as you sit back, relax and absorb the delights of this superb rail journey.
