Panoramic train journey through Swiss Alps with gourmet meals
"If you want to maximize winter magic, I recommend the Glacier Express: it connects Zermatt and St. Moritz, traverses some of the most beautiful sites in the central Swiss Alps, and offers onboard perks like panoramic viewing windows and three-course meals." - Caitlin Morton
"Taking eight hours between Zermatt and St. Moritz, I discovered why the Glacier Express is called the slowest express: the journey offers up-close views of the Matterhorn, Piz Bernina, and the Rhine Gorge, and booking Excellence Class means Champagne at your seat followed by a six-course meal with wine pairings." - Todd Plummer
"I recommend the Glacier Express for a classic Swiss winter journey: the eight-hour ride between Zermatt and St. Moritz passes over 290 bridges and offers panoramic views of the Oberalp Pass and Matterhorn while guests enjoy included three-course meals." - Matt Ortile
"A plush railroad experience offering a full eight-hour journey that covers 180 scenic miles between Zermatt and St. Moritz, providing uninterrupted alpine views and a classic way to see Switzerland's mountains and valleys from the comfort of a luxurious carriage." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.

"An iconic panoramic train experience that travels through dramatic alpine scenery in glass-fronted cars with narrated commentary; reservations are required but are often covered by the Swiss Travel Pass." - Carole Rosenblat
