Glacier Express St. Moritz – Brig

Alpine rail crossing from St. Moritz to Brig on the Glacier Express

railtour suisse operates this two-day Swiss Alpine crossing for travellers seeking a single famous train journey without a full tour itinerary. You arrive in St. Moritz, the renowned alpine winter-sports resort, and overnight in a three-star hotel with breakfast. On day two, you board the Glacier Express, the "world's slowest express train," for a seven-hour crossing to Brig. The route climbs to the Oberalp Pass at 2,033 metres, passing over 291 bridges and through 91 tunnels while revealing ancient mountain forests, Alpine meadows, rushing rivers, and the dramatic Rhine Gorge. The train crosses two UNESCO World Heritage rail lines: the Albula and Bernina routes of the Rhaetian Railway. This journey suits repeat rail travellers, photographers, and history enthusiasts drawn to the Swiss Alps and the Glacier Express's celebrated reputation.
