Winter Glacier Express Chur – Brig

3-day winter Glacier Express trip between Chur and Brig

Winter Glacier Express Chur to Brig is a short 3-day trip from Switzerland Travel Centre built around a single, well-known Alpine train ride. After a night in Chur, described in the evidence as the oldest town in Switzerland, travelers ride the Glacier Express to Brig, crossing the Oberalp Pass at 6,572 feet through snow-covered winter scenery on a journey of about 4 hours. A second night in Brig, in sunny Upper Valais at the foot of the Simplon Pass, closes out the trip before the return journey. Accommodation and room category are offered as a choice, and the trip length can be customized or extended. This suits travelers who want one classic winter rail journey through the Alps without committing to a longer Swiss itinerary.
