The Glacier Express

The route covers some of the most stunning scenery in the country, passing through no fewer than 91 tunnels and across 291 bridges. From the comfort of your panorama railcar, experience the breathtaking beauty of our unspoiled Alpine landscape. Dine and wine while you travel in the attractively furnished restaurant car.

Sample Itinerary

DAY ONE
Arrive Zurich then transfer via Second Class Swiss Rail to the lake side city of Lucern.  Lake Steamer trips and mountain railway options are included with your package (Reservations and meal supplements must be purchased separately).  There is so much to see.

DAY TWO and THREE
Transfer via Second Class Swiss Rail for the Mountain city of Zermatt.  Your family hotel in Tasch is just 10 minutes from the center of Zermatt, the cog railway, and high mountain gondolas of the Matterhorn.  A 25% discount awaits you on many optional mountain excursions.  This area is great for short hikes between alpine villages accessible only by mountain path.  It is a chance to discover a world you have never experienced before.

Because there is so much to see in this car-less mountain village, you will have the remainder of day 2 and all of day 3 to explore. Car-free Zermatt has a special sense of tranquility and a local color of its own with it’s horse drawn carriages and electric carts transporting locals and visitors alike. No one visits Zermatt without taking a ride on Europe’s highest cableway to the Summit of the majestic Klein Matterhorn for a spectacular view of this unique Alpine world. Perhaps you’d like to hike the many groomed mountain trails. There are quaint villages here that can only be reached by footpath. The cog railway will give you a special discount for a ride to the top.  Just show them your Swiss Rail pass. Or perhaps you’d like to visit Italy - you can by Gondola.

 

DAY FOUR
Board the world famous Swiss Glacier Express in Zermatt for your fantastic  8 hour train journey over 291 bridges, through 91 tunnels up and down the beautiful, majestic Swiss Alps.  From the comfort of your seat you will see the splendid beauty of the Swiss Alps world. Spend your fourth night in St. Moritz.

DAY FIVE
Board Swiss Rail for your final journey to the thriving city of Zurich and a change of pace for your last day.

DAY SIX
Depart on your own for Zurich Airport. Leave early in order to do some fantastic duty free shopping.

All travel must be between May 15 and October 15.  Departures Daily.  Those who wish to add days may do so.  We highly recommend adding a night each in Lucern and St. Moritz.
