Glazier Express - Zürich to St Moritz

5.00We travelled from Zurich HB mainline station with our guide Lorenzo who met us as under the big clock just at the right time. We travelled by train to St Moritz following the picturesque and scenic Glazier Express route. Lorenzo was a very knowledgeable guide pointing out all of the key landmarks annd buildings along the way and the best photo opportunities. Even when we experienced a little change in the planned return journey he promptly found an alternative route even allowing enough time to grab a drink and snack for the journey home.
Amazing views, must go!!

5.00I had a great time in this trip with the very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide Lorenzo who was able to answer our questions. The highlight had to be seeing the frozen/snow covered lake in St Moritz whilst enjoying the views on the way there.
