Unwind on a Glacier Express Holiday

The Glacier Express is sometimes referred to as the 'slowest express train in the world' as it does not travel at high speeds as one might expect. This, however, is definitely not a discredit to the service as it allows you time to marvel at the magnificent vistas that unfold before you as you relax in comfort. Passing through narrow valleys, beside turquoise blue rivers and across flat meadows, you are continually surrounded by the imposing snowy mountains of the Alps. On board the Glacier Express there are panorama carriages that provide excellent viewing opportunities and also a food car.
