Join us on the world-famous Glacier Express for the journey of a lifteime along the backbone of the Swiss Alps. We travel with the Brig-Visp-Zermatt, Furka-Oberalp and Rhaethian Railway companies from Zermatt to St. Moritz.
Our journey begins at Zermatt, the mountain resort dominated by thr distinctive peak of the Matterhorn.

At Brig we take the opportunity to visit the Stockalper palace, before journeying along the spectacular FO line through the lusch countryside of the Goms region.

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.
