"The Glacier Express runs between Zermatt and St. Moritz, offering a scenic journey through the Swiss Alps. The train is known for its panoramic windows that provide clear views of snow-covered mountain peaks and breathtaking landscapes. It is described as a journey that feels like riding through a snow globe, especially in winter. The train operates year-round, with a pause from mid-October to December. It offers three classes of service: second class, first class, and excellence class, each providing a different level of comfort and amenities. Excellence class features luxury leather seating, a personal concierge, and a five-course menu. The train journey includes views of the Matterhorn, Rhône Glacier, Oberalp Pass, and Rhine Gorge." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a freelance writer with over eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.
