I would advise anyone travelling on the Glacier Express to St Moritz, to continue their journey the following day on the Bernina Express (or a regular Bernina line train) onwards to Tirano, just across the Italian border. Every bit as spectacular as the Glacier Express.

Very well captured video. Thank you for such a beautiful video and with all necessary information that we need to know. When did you travel?

[lorrainerichardson]

That was amazing, the engineering of the bridges and tunnels and your photography, how the heck did you get a drone up when heading for a tunnel. Thank you as always. =-)

I took this trip on the Glacier Express in 1980, on a 15 day Swiss tour with my mom and sister. Many thanks for the wonderful reminders.

A brilliant video. Your camerawork and editing have become extremely professional. Thank you!

Due to the damage to the railroad system in the Mattertal valley, the continuous line between Visp and Täsch below Zermatt remains closed until at least August 25. All Glacier Express trains will run exclusively between St. Moritz and Brig until the line is opened. On the route between St. Moritz and Brig the normal services are available and the departure and arrival times for all stops will remain as per the timetable.

For Glacier Express travelers from/to Zermatt, an appropriate alternative transport service is in operation in an extra train from Zermatt to Täsch and separate buses between Täsch and Brig. Guests affected will be informed directly by Railservice Glacier Express as soon as possible.

For departures from Zermatt, we recommend that you arrive at Zermatt station half an hour before the regular departure time. Our staff will then meet you there. Optionally, you can also board the train directly in Brig. Please refer to the timetable for departure times.

If you have already booked for the time in question and decide not to take the Glacier Express journey as planned please contact our customer service directly

Unbelievable! The Glacier Express is amazing! What an unforgettable journey! With absolutely beautiful & breathtaking scenery, charming & delightful homes & buildings! As well as, stunning Mountain Vistas, beautiful Valleys & Rivers & incredible Glaciers. All of this, along with such epic & brilliantly designed bridges. As well as, the intriguing tunnel entrances, which makes the Train seem to just 'disappear' into the Mountain. What a delightful & totally unique experience! Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey on the Glacier Express!.

Absolutely gobsmackedly beautiful place. I was completely memorized by the stunning scenery and gorgeous villages. I have to say that the only place that could be capable of surpassing this country would be the South Island of New Zealand which has its own unique beauty and character. Thank you again for your excellent work.
