The Glacier Express Luxury Train In Europe | The Glacier Express Booking Agency

The Glacier Express is arguably Switzerland's most famous train. The 181-mile (290 km) journey between Zermatt and St. Moritz, taking around eight hours, meanders through some of Europe's most stunning and dramatic landscapes. Whether in summer or winter, the views throughout the trip are truly breathtaking. Operating since 1930, it is renowned as "the world's slowest express train."

State-of-the-art "Glacier Express Premium" trains, which were introduced in 2006, have new panorama cars in First and Second Class. Other trains use conventional cars in First Class and panorama cars in Second Class.

It is a day trip through untouched mountain landscapes, glamorous health resorts, deep gorges, delightful valleys, 91 tunnels and across 291 impressive bridges. The Glacier Express used to be a summer-only train, but today it operates year-round. The summer timetable offers four trains per day; the winter schedule is more limited.

This is a daytime only train; there are no overnight accommodations on board. The first- and second-class panorama cars are air-conditioned, wheelchair-accessible and are considerably quieter than the previous generation of rolling stock. The new interiors are elegant and pleasant, and the improved information system is available in six languages.

The 1st class panorama viewing car offers 36 comfortable seats (12x3-seat compartments, central-aisle car) with table, air-conditioning and information channel. You'll enjoy nearly equivalent comfort and service in 2nd class with 48 seats (12x4-seat compartments, central-aisle car).

Passengers on Glacier Express Premium trains can have 3-course meals or the dish of the day served at seats or in the dining cars (extra cost); on the standard trains, meals are served in the dining cars only, where angled-stem wineglasses help to prevent spilling during the steeper portions of the journey. All trains have Railbar carts that sell box lunches, salads, hot and cold drinks, etc.

Pricing varies based on the journey, cabin preference, season of travel & more.
