Join us on the world-famous Glacier Express for the journey of a lifetime along the backbone of the Swiss Alps. We travel with the Brig-Visp-Zermatt, Furka-Oberalp and Rhaetian Railway companies from Zermatt to St. Moritz.

Our journey begins at Zermatt, the mountain resort dominated by the distinctive peak of the Matterhorn. We admire the spectacular panoramic views from the top of the Gornergrat before joining the train for the ride along the scenic BVZ line to the Rhone valley. At Brig we take the opportunity to visit the Stockalper palace, before journeying along the spectacular FO line through the lush countryside of the Goms region. We break our journey to visit the magnificent Aletsch Glacier, and the picturesque village of Ernen.

Further along the route we poss through the Furka Tunnel to emerge into the wild Urseren valley. At Andermatt we make a diversion along the formidable Schöllenen Gorge before rejoining the train for a fabulous winter run through deep snow as the track snakes up the mountainside. We continue our summer expedition at the Oberalp pass, the summit of the line.
