If a panoramic train journey through Switzerland is on your bucket list, the legendary Glacier Express is a must. But questions abound: How do you get Glacier Express tickets? When should you book to ensure you secure seats - especially in the coveted Glacier Express Excellence Class? Is the eight-hour Glacier Express route between St. Moritz and Zermatt really worth it?
In this episode, I chat with Gabi Aberle, Manager Overseas Markets for the Glacier Express, to get her insider tips on traveling between iconic stops like Chur, Andermatt, Brig, and Zermatt.
We discuss breathtaking highlights like the Landwasser Viaduct, the towering Oberalp Pass, and the dramatic Rhine Gorge, as well as essential details about Glacier Express seat reservations, taking luggage on board, dining options, and making the most of your panoramic train journey.
If you want clarity on using your Swiss Travel Pass on the Glacier Express, operating dates, what services are available on board the train, and how to maximize your Swiss rail adventure, tune in for everything you need to know before you make your Glacier Express booking.
Happy travels,
Carolyn
