Glacier Express

The Glacier Express is a panoramic trip through the Swiss Alps from St Moritz to Zermatt or from Piz Bernina to the Matterhorn. The journey takes 7½ hours and crosses 291 bridges, runs through 91 tunnels and across the Oberalp Pass at an altitude of 2033 metres.

Enjoy the sights of the Graubünden holiday region, the sunny Valais region with its glacier landscape, and the beautiful regions of the South. Travel in comfort through the unspoilt natural beauty of a landscape rich in ancient, fragrant mountain forests, peaceful Alpine meadows, rushing mountain streams and mountain valleys, soaked in tradition and centuries-old culture.
