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.
