Connecting the exclusive alpine resorts of Zermatt and St. Moritz, this legendary route stretches across 291 kilometers, offering an 8-hour voyage of unfiltered beauty and refined comfort.
From the moment you board, the Glacier Express envelops you in an atmosphere of elegance and tranquility. Designed for leisure and immersion, the train glides at a gentle pace through a cinematic landscape of dramatic mountain peaks, deep gorges, pristine valleys, and timeless villages. Along the way, it crosses 291 bridges, passes through 91 tunnels, and ascends to the lofty heights of the Oberalp Pass, the highest point of the journey at over 2,000 meters above sea level.
The train’s panoramic windows—stretching from seat level to ceiling—offer uninterrupted views of natural wonders: cascading waterfalls, emerald forests, mirror-like lakes, and ancient stone viaducts. Each turn in the track reveals a new, postcard-worthy vista, inviting passengers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with nature’s splendor.
Onboard, the experience is equally unforgettable. The Glacier Express offers first-class and Excellence Class service, where comfort meets sophistication. Plush seating, attentive service, and a serene ambiance set the tone. In Excellence Class, guests enjoy guaranteed window seats, a dedicated concierge, and a five-course gourmet menu paired with fine regional wines—all served as the alpine landscape drifts by like a living painting.
