Switzerland is a country with breathtaking alpine landscapes and scenic routes, and one of the best ways to explore them is by taking a ride on Switzerland’s panoramic trains<\/strong>. These trains offer a unique perspective, with large windows that provide uninterrupted views of the stunning scenery. From snow-capped peaks to crystal-clear lakes and charming villages, Switzerland’s panoramic train routes offer some of the most picturesque views in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A trip to Switzerland isn’t total without taking at least one of the panoramic train rides in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The well-known trains with panoramic windows on the Glacier Express, Bernina Express, Goldenpass, and Gotthard Panorama Express routes allow you to take in the best of Switzerland’s breathtaking scenery while sitting in a modern and comfortable seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The many train routes pass through tunnels, alpine villages and alpine passes, lakes, rivers, bridges and historic sites, providing a unique view of the Alps. In fact, roads in Switzerland are strategically built to provide the best view possible. It won’t be hard to see this when taking one of the most popular panoramic routes in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The duration of panoramic train rides in Switzerland varies depending on the specific route you choose. Some routes can be completed in just a few hours, while others can take up to a full day. However, one thing is certain: no matter which route you choose, you will be treated to breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps and the stunning landscapes of Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at some of the most popular panoramic train routes in Switzerland and what makes them a must-see for any traveler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glacier Express<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the most spectacular scenic routes in Switzerland, connecting two of the country’s most famous cities and ski resorts: Zermatt and Saint Moritz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Glacier Express<\/a> is the world’s slowest express train route (approximately 35 kilometers per hour), and the entire journey takes 7 and a half hours. But don’t worry, there’s enough to see on this magnificent train ride through scenic landscapes, across 291 bridges, and into 91 tunnels.
Passengers on the Glacier Express can book a meal that includes an appetizer, main course, and dessert with or without wine. The meals are prepared in the train’s interior kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend making reservations for the meal as part of the ritual of the panorama route, since you will have the opportunity to have lunch while admiring the beautiful scenery passing by via the train window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glacier Express Price<\/strong>
The Glacier Express panorama train excursion from Zermat to St. Moritz or vice versa costs CHF 153 in the second-class carriage and CHF 269 in the first-class carriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have time to complete the entire journey, you can also do only a part of it. You can choose any intermediate stop to begin or end your journey, and the price will change accordingly.
Those who purchase the Swiss Travel Pass enjoy the benefit of being able to take this tour on the strip! The only charge to pay is the necessary seat reservation fee, which ranges from 33 to 43 Swiss francs depending on whether it’s peak or low season. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

This route can also be taken by regional trains operated by Rhaetische Bahn, the local train company. There is no commitment to secure a seat, and you can skip sections if you don’t have time to complete the entire tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bernina Express<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
