Travelling on the Glacier Express at Christmas

The crisp winter landscape of Switzerland provides a whimsical backdrop to journeys on the Glacier Express at Christmas. This stunning, untouched scenery is often inaccessible by road and more enjoyable than ever when witnessed from the warmth of a comfortable rail carriage. There is no better way to discover Switzerland than aboard the "world's slowest express train". Each carriage has large panoramic windows which offer views of untouched nature. The route of the Glacier Express at Christmas travels to the quiet resort of Andermatt, passing dramatic mountains, picturesque meadows and glistening streams. The excursion is then finished with journeys aboard the renowned Centovalli Railway which takes you along the spectacular Hundred Valleys Line, giving you the opportunity to view some of Switzerland's most astounding scenery.
