Please note: We do not ride the Glacier Express but follow its iconic route by regional train.

This lets you enjoy the breathtaking landscapes in a more relaxed and authentic way, without the crowds but with spectacular views.

On the way to Brig, travel through the Rhône Valley, admire rolling vineyards, while there explore the charming old town and the impressive Stockalper Palace.

In Zermatt, you can choose between joining your guide for a village walk with breathtaking Matterhorn viewpoints or enjoying free time to explore on your own — for example, by visiting the Gornergrat railway station (ticket not included).
