Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Zürichsøens aflange, let buede form ligner en banan. Søen er omkring 28 kilometer lang fra Rapperswil til Zürich
Walensee er en sø i de østlige præalper i Schweiz og ligger i kantonerne St. Gallen og Glarus.
Sargans ligger i skæringspunktet mellem Alpenrheintal, som her bøjer fra sydøst til nordøst, og Seeztal, som forbinder Alpenrhein-dalen med Zürich-søen uden nogen væsentlig højdeforskel.
Chur er en by i Alperne og hovedstaden i kantonen Graubünden i det østlige Schweiz. I den bilfri gamle bydel fører snoede gader til den treskibede katedral fra det 13. århundrede Jomfru Marias himmelfart i gården til Bispepaladset. Her starter Glacier Express-rejsen.
Ruinaulta eller Rhinkløften er en slugt på op til 400 meter dyb og omkring 13 kilometer lang i Vorderrhein mellem Ilanz og udmundingen af Hinterrhein nær Reichenau i kantonen Graubünden
Ilanz/Glion er en lille by i kommunen Ilanz/Glion i Surselva-regionen i den schweiziske kanton Graubünden
Vintersports- og kurstedet ligger i den øvre del af Surselva. I slutningen af 1600-tallet blev der bygget et nyt klosteranlæg i barokstil. Glacier Express-toget stopper her i 10 minutter
Oberalppasset forbinder landsbyerne Sedrun i Surselva i kantonen Graubünden med Andermatt i Urserendalen i kantonen Uri i Schweiz
Andermatt er en landsby i Ursendalen i de schweiziske alper. Svævebanen tager besøgende til skiområdet Gemsstock, og en stolelift forbinder landsbyen med de lettere pister på Nätschen. Nord for Andermatt fører en af de mange vandrestier til Teufelsbrücke over Schöllenen-kløften. Glacier Express-toget stopper her i 10 minutter.
Furka Base Tunnel er en 15,38 km lang jernbanetunnel åbnet i 1982, der forbinder Oberwald i kantonen Valais og Realp i kantonen Uri. Basistunnelen erstatter den gamle Furka bjergrute.
Oberwald er den første landsby i begyndelsen af Goms. Det ligger ved foden af Furka-passet og Grimsel-alpepas. Landsbyen Gletsch, som ikke er beboet hele året rundt, og Rhone-gletsjeren ligger også i området af den tidligere kommune Oberwald.
Den højeste dalsektion af Upper Valais mellem kilden til Rhone og Grengiols daltrin nær Brig kaldes Goms. Det er den østligste del af kantonen Valais. I øst er det begrænset af Furka-passet mellem Galenstock og Pizzo Rotondo og i vest af Weisshorn. Den øverste del af dalen kaldes stadig Obergoms.
Brig er en alpeby i kantonen Valais i det sydlige Schweiz. Det ligger ved foden af Simplon-passet, som fører til den italienske grænse. Et stop på Glacier Express-toget er Brig kendt for sine termiske bade, Sebastian-kapellet og Stockalper-slottet fra det 17. århundrede. Ved Brig forlader du Glacier Express-toget og efter bybesøget rejser du tilbage til dit afgangssted med almindeligt intercitytog. Fra Brig til Bern tager det en time, fra Bern til Zürich/Basel eller Luzern endnu en time.
Lötschberg Base Tunnel er en 34,6 kilometer lang jernbanetunnel, der krydser under den nordlige alpine kæde ved Lötschberg mellem Frutigen i Berner Oberland (Kanton Bern, Schweiz) og Raron (Kanton Valais, Schweiz) og blev sat i drift i 2007. Denne basistunnel er en del af Lötschberg-Simplon-aksen på den nye jernbaneforbindelse gennem Alperne (NRLA), som løber fra Basel via Bern-Thun-Spiez til Lötschberg og videre via Brig-Simplon-Domodossola til Milano og Novara-Genova, og ved siden af den, der løber parallelt Gotthard-aksen, danner en anden rute for den transalpine jernbanegodstrafik i den europæiske korridor (Rotterdam-Genova).
Thunsøen er en fjordsø i Berner Oberland i den nordlige udkant af Alperne.
Bern kaldes "Forbundsbyen" og fungerer som hovedstaden i Schweiz. Som sæde for byen og store dele af den kantonale og føderale administration er det det største center for offentlig administration i landet

Domenico was fabulous. This whole experience was so unique and special. I highly recommend it. We started in Chur which is so charming. The panoramic train was so fun and the views were phenomenal. We ended in Brig which is also very charming. We then took the resin back to Zurich. Domenico was knowledgeable, fun and charming as well.
Amazing views, a must-do in the Swiss Alps. Beautiful scenery, fantastic service. Yes, it's slow moving but that is part of the experience. Order food in advance, guarantees you get what you want quickly.
Thank you for your feedback
It was beautiful,the ride the scenery and the lunch aboard.Missed the snow,the one and only time!We could imagine the beauty it would create if the Mountains were Snow covered!
Thank you for the review - we are not responsible for snow and it is Summer time in Switzerland.
It was an incredible experience of trip to ZURICH, Switzerland, and I highly suggest everyone to embark on the Glacier Express journey at least once in their lifetime. Witnessing the breathtaking Alps up close from the comfort of the train as it winds its way along the mountain peaks is truly awe-inspiring. Our tour guide, Michael Myers, was just exceptional, serving as a knowledgeable and friendly companion throughout the trip. Exploring the quaint Swiss villages in CHUR and BRIG on foot was a serene experience, with lush greenery and meticulously maintained wooden houses adding to the charm of the surroundings of great mountains touching Northern Italy and Austria.

Thank you for the review, forwarded to our tourguide.
Enjoyed the experience with my partner who celebrated his 50th birthday. It was a gift so I ordered a cake unfortunately one of the waiter's on the train ruined the suprise as soon as we say down. This upset me and ruined the day but the train journey itself was a success
And how was the tour? How was our tourguide? Your writing something that you organized outside of our tour and our control.
For a train that requires a travel ticket and a £40 seat reservation, the scenery and quality of the coach is amazing; but that’s where it stops. The locomotive wasn’t branded, and looked out of place, some of the waiting staff were abrupt, boarding rude and there was no milk available meaning no cappuccino, hot chocolate or white coffee was available half way through the journey- disappointing
Hello You are reflecting the Glacier Express train but not our tour. Pity, that we don't get a feedback about our service and you mention weird details like a "not branded locomotive" or that there was no milk available. You mentioned, that it was half-way, that results the other half-way it was available. Would like to have your luxury problems.
Our guide, Michael, was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, accommodating and great company. We particularly appreciated our walking tours of Chur and Brig whilst we waited for our trains. The scenery on the express itself was mind-blowing, and it was amazing to think that we travelled over the headwaters of both the Rhine and Rhône. We saw so much of Switzerland in a single day. The food on the express was good, although it was disappointing to learn that our dietary requirements (specified when I booked on the Viator site) had not been passed on to Glacier Express catering. Despite this rather unsatisfactory lapse, we still say 5 stars - mostly due to Michael and the scenery. Vielen dank, Michael!
Thank you for your review and we forwarded it to our guide.
We enjoyed the whole trip, and had a great tour guidance. Watching the hills with the snow so close was very impressive.
Happy you had a great day. Thank you for the feedback.
We took the Glacier Express from Andermatt to Saint Moritz and returned the next day to Andermatt. We left the car in Andermatt. The car park to use overnight is located underneath the Radisson Hotel. Walking time from the car park to the train station is about 5 mins. Not far at all. For the Glacier Express you need to reserve in advance and seats go quickly. You will need to pay for the reservation and then buy a separate train ticket as well. We bought the train tickets at the station. The Glacier Express arrived perfectly on time and we found our seats without trouble whilst being welcomed aboard by the train manager. We travelled in First Class and the seats were very comfortable and the space available was good. Arrangement of the seats is 2:1 across the train. The views are absolutely amazing from top to bottom (windows at an angle in the top of the train) which meant we could see the mountains, the villages, the ravines, the snow capped mountains in August! The second day we woke up to fresh snow on the mountain tops which was amazing, especially as it was the start of August. The speed of the train in such that you can easily see the magnificent sights of Switzerland and take photos as you go without missing anything. The Glacier Express staff aboard the train, on the platforms and in the ticket office were all extremely polite and welcoming throughout.
Nice review from your trip, that you did NOT book through us and that is why it is listed on the wrong business.
Uli is an experienced tour guide , he provided a rich historical and insight talking points on each interesting view spots, we really enjoyed travel in big with Uli.
Thank you for your feedback, we'll forward it to our guide.
