Just take it easy when you get on the slowest train in the world

  • Glacier Express in Switzerland
You'll thank the opportunity of taking time to enjoy the views
 

The name of the Swiss Glacier Express train should not fool you, as the 8-hour train offers a breath-taking view as it slowly crosses 92 tunnels and 291 bridges between Zermatt and St. Moritz. Travelling by the Glacier Express is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the traditional architecture of the country. This is where travellers can find the highest vineyards in Europe and the Oberalp Pass and the Rhine Canyon. The approach to Zermatt is the highlight as the train climbs the steepest slope. You get to witness the use of cog wheel tracks.
