Event though it’s known as the slowest express train in the world, the Glacier Express is likely the most celebrated train route in all of Europe and the best way to see Switzerland. The scenic ride between Zermatt and St. Moritz was started in 1930 and has been going strong ever since, attracting tourists eager to see the beauty of the Alps from the comfort of a train car with panoramic windows and a glass ceiling. The alpine landscape will have you glued to the glass panes for the entire eight-hour trip, but the moment every passenger waits for on the Glacier Express is the crossing of the famous Landwasser Viaduct. It’s the most well-known stretch on this route despite the fact that the train goes across another 290 bridges during the trip. If you want to ride the Glacier Express, one of the most iconic train rides in Europe, you’ll need to make a reservation in advance. If you feel like making the most of this train trip with a five-course meal, drinks, and a guaranteed window seat, book yourself in Excellence Class.
