Glacier Express

Listed under Train Journeys in St Moritz, Switzerland.

Running between Zermatt and St. Moritz, this route was opened in the 1920s in response to the boom in Alpine tourism amongst the upper classes in Europe - an updated version of the Grand Tour.

The trip takes seven and a half hours, with windows arching up and into the ceiling, leaving just a slim panel in the centre for lighting and creating panoramic views of pristine meadows, mountain streams, valleys and forests.

The train itself is modern and swiss - not luxurious, but on time.
