Summer the Swiss Alps with the Glacier Express
Summer in the Swiss Alps
with the Glacier Express
When it comes to panoramic scenery, Switzerland excels. The country has it all: soaring summits, dramatically-chiselled glaciers and glittering lakes. Travelling by train in this part of the world is as enthralling as it gets, especially if you happen to hop aboard the legendary Glacier Express.
This is no ordinary train journey. It offers the rare opportunity to combine one of the most spectacular rail routes with stays at three iconic Swiss resorts. Every moment is a photo-opportunity travelling between Zermatt and St Moritz passing through Andermatt; gracefully gliding over 291 magnificent bridges and traversing through 91 tunnels before ascending to the Oberalp Pass, the highest point on the scenic route. All while indulging in decadent local fare, accompanied by regional wines, as you are swept through the idyllic mountains, valleys and villages.
