The Glacier Express

Our train is not until 1127 so we have a little while to have a look round Chur. Then it's off to the station for the Glacier Express. The carriages have panoramic windows for the best views of the spectacular Swiss scenery. Plus there is food!

The journey heads up into the mountains where there is snow at the highest point (Oberalp). Then we head downwards again, changing at Andermatt for a local train and finishing our journey at Zermatt, our home for the night.

Dinner at the Brown Cow pub

We stayed at Hotel Excelsior - Postfach 343, Zermatt, Switzerland with a view of the Matterhorn a short walk from the station.Read more
