The Glacier Express

5-day independent Switzerland rail trip centered on the Glacier Express

Railbookers operates this 5-day, 4-night independent rail package built around a single country, Switzerland, and its best-known scenic train. The trip begins with a night in Zurich, then continues toward St Moritz, with the Glacier Express forming part of that journey. The evidence pack also lists Zermatt and Geneva as destinations on this trip, though its description is cut short before it explains where those stops fall in the schedule or how many nights are spent in each. Because it is sold as an independent rail package rather than an escorted tour, travelers make their own way between stops. No hotels are named in the evidence available to us. At $1,449 USD per person, this suits travelers who want a short, focused introduction to Switzerland by rail rather than a longer multi-country trip.
