Ski Adventure with the Glacier Express

8-day Swiss ski vacation linking St. Moritz and Zermatt by Glacier Express

Illustration of Ski Adventure with the Glacier Express

Ski Adventure with the Glacier Express is Switzerland Travel Centre's 8-day winter package linking two of Switzerland's best-known ski resorts. Travelers spend three nights in St. Moritz, described in the evidence as a luxurious destination, skiing or exploring the winter landscape at their own pace. The Glacier Express then carries them from St. Moritz to Zermatt, an 8-hour ride through the Alps, for three more nights of skiing with a view of the Matterhorn across a ski area of more than 224 miles of slopes in three zones. Accommodation is offered as a choice rather than a named hotel, and ski or snowboard equipment is not included, though it can be added at booking or rented locally. This suits skiers who want two contrasting Swiss resorts joined by a single scenic train ride rather than a single-base ski week.
