День тому

The Glacier Express is one of the world's most scenic railways taking you on a journey through the Swiss Alps. Running since 1930 and connecting the Alpine Ski Resorts of Zermatt with St Moritz, the Glacier Express is an incredible way to see the Swiss Alps and the stunning scenery of Switzerland.
Join us and we depart Zermatt on the Glacier Express bound for St Moritz, sharing our experience in 1st Class, highlighting the best scenic moments and sharing tips on how to book your tickets ( which is not easy) and ways to save money on the full price ticket.

I would advise anyone travelling on the Glacier Express to St Moritz, to continue their journey the following day on the Bernina Express (or a regular Bernina line train) onwards to Tirano, just across the Italian border. Every bit as spectacular as the Glacier Express.

@ebrahimbabakfar6129 5 місяців тому

That’s. Good thing that we will consider. But can we do it in one day go and back on the same day to st moritz?

@theaw.4798 Місяць тому

Absolutely true! As well in winter as in summer!

@ranijhansijhansi4044 6 днів тому

How much does it cost two ways one first class ?

@stefanilg6924 День тому

@@ebrahimbabakfar6129 Easily! It's 2.15 hours one way St.Moritz-Tirano (I), and there are hourly departures (not all Bernina-Express equipment, but that's irrelevant). I recommend breaking up the excursion at one of the intermediate stops like Brusio (for the spiral viaduct), Poschiavo (charming main settlement of the valley), Alp Grüm (for real glacier vistas) or a hike along Lago di Poschiavo.

I took this trip on the Glacier Express in 1980, on a 15 day Swiss tour with my mom and sister. Many thanks for the wonderful reminders.

@annieains1 6 місяців тому

I am officially jealous! 😊 How stunning this was. Thank you for taking us along. Your videos are so well shot and I can appreciate the amount of work that has to go into making them. Please keep them coming! ❤

@stefanilg6924 День тому

Watching this was pure pleasure, you did an excellent job. I loved the calm narration interrupted by segments with soothing music and no comments at all. Considering you had to reserve your seats 93 days in advance I can't emphasize enough how incredibly lucky you were with the weather. With the best organization, THIS can't be ordered, and I know how the mountains look in rain and fog 😵‍💫😱. So happy, you hit a good day. Speaking of organization, excellent way - the best actually - to get your whole journey pieced together by benefitting from discounts hidden in the Swiss system. Thank you for the very clear explanations. I don't think a travel agent would have known about it. Good to know perhaps, that the ticket fare (only) is also included in the Swiss Travel Pass, available for 3, 4, 6, 8 or 15 consecutive days (Swiss Travel Pass Flex same days, but selectable). The Swiss Travel Pass is used by many foreign visitors who want to ride more than one single train. You purchased a first class ticket to hang out of the vestibule window for the most part of thr trip? Man, you made a sacrifice to get those magnificent images. A special thank you for that. I didnt know they installed windows to open on this air conditioned carriages. The new train sets with air condition on Rhaetian Railways' Albula line have windows to open on the multi purpose car used for storing the bicycles. They do cater to the photographers. One minor clarification not many will bother about (only railfans perhaps): The handover from the Matterhorn-Gotthard-Bahn (MGB) on the western segment to the Rhätische Bahn (RhB) on the eastern segment takes place at Disentis (stress on the first syllable 😉), where you might have missed the engine change. The engine change in Chur is required only because of the reverse course of the train.

Unbelievable! The Glacier Express is amazing! What an unforgettable journey! With absolutely beautiful & breathtaking scenery, charming & delightful homes & buildings! As well as, stunning Mountain Vistas, beautiful Valleys & Rivers & incredible Glaciers. All of this, along with such epic & brilliantly designed bridges. As well as, the intriguing tunnel entrances, which makes the Train seem to just 'disappear' into the Mountain. What a delightful & totally unique experience! Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey on the Glacier Express!.

@theoztreecrasher2647 6 місяців тому

Did this trip about 30-odd years ago. Myself and some Kiwi travellers were waving cameras and excitedly swapping sides as the journey progressed while the locals looked on stoically but nonplussed. On returning home I took the country rattler that still ran at that time up through the mountains to my home. And marvelled at all those tourists running about in the carriage. Haven't they seen a waterfall before?! 😈🙄😉

@cassandraralph5906 6 місяців тому

Fantastic video guys, the very best one I've watched for the Glacier Express. We've covered pretty much all of the Zermatt-St Moritz route over the past few years but have never travelled on the Glacier Express. I was due to travel on it in 1985 as part of a Kuoni 3 centre holiday. Stupidly I left London with an infection and by the time I got to St Moritz I could hardly breathe. so had to curtail the holiday. It's on the bucket list though.

A wonderful trip! Thank you! I loved the beautiful green meadows with yellow flowers, and the fantastic bridges. And of course, the snowy mountains. How did you get that drone footage of the train going across the viaduct? I loved seeing the source of the Rhine! We visited Germany in 2007, and crossed the river often during our trip. I even sat with my friend's WWII Vet father at the south side of Remagen and listened to his stories about crossing the besieged bridge with his U.S. Army unit in 1945. We also took a train from Bad Gastein to Salzburg while we were in Austria. It really does feel like you are at the top of the world.

@MemorySeekers 5 місяців тому

We had to source the drone shots to help tell the story. We could take drone and film on the train at the same time. It was quite a journey and an amazing memory to remember.
