Zermatt - Brig - Celerina

Our next scenic train adventure was the Glacier Express, one of Switzerland’s most famous railway journeys, taking us from Brig towards the eastern part of the country.

We decided to make it an experience, so we ordered the three-course menu and got it paired with beautiful views! Last one wasn’t on the menu😅

Eventually, after crossing around 250 bridges and passing through more than 80 tunnels😄 we made it to our little home for the night in Celerina💛.

And here are few interesting facts that we found out during our trip about trains:

🏔️ The Glacier Express reaches it’s highest point at more than 2,000m above the sea level.

😄 Glacier Express has a fun nickname: it is known as “the world’s slowest express train.”

🚂 Swiss Railways operate more than 1,350 km of single-track railway, meaning trains travelling in opposite directions often have to be well scheduled to pass each other at specific points. And in 94% they are on time!Read more
