Switzerland's
famous Glacier Express in Winter Snow. Travelling from Zermatt to St Moritz by
train on the Interrail Pass / Eurail Pass. Full details/itinerary here:
https://www.bangorni.com/glacier-expr...
We travelled
in early January following a stay in the town of Zermatt (next to the famous
Matterhorn mountain) when the small station town is still covered in snow and
decorated for Christmas. Note, this was part of a wider Interrail/Eurail
journey outlined fully here: https://www.bangorni.com/interrail-in...
The Glacier
Express railway train then follows from Zermatt (08:00AM start for us) through
many small mountain stations, including Visp, before crossing the snowy
mountains of the Alps.
Early
attractions include the Oberalppass, which is the highest point of the journey,
as well as the Rhine Gorge where the Rhine River passes in the Swiss Alps.
Before reaching the next main station at Chur (pronounced Coor). And this is an
optional end to the Glacier Express.
However, the
best-known attraction is the Landwasser Viaduct, found along the train line
between Chur and St Gallen, and it takes roughly 2 hours between these two
stations of the railway line.
The Glacier
Express takes 8 hours in total from Zermatt to St Moritz (Switzerland) on what
is known as the 'World's Slowest Fast Train' where it is a high-speed train,
only, given the terrain, it is the world's slowest when going from point A to
point B.
