[Swiss Glacier Express] Long-distance rail journey through magnificent mountains and rivers without any burden

📍Swiss Glacier Express The best way to explore Switzerland is by train! After years of anticipation, I finally had the chance to experience riding the Glacier Express! The Glacier Express crosses the Alps and connects the two magnificent cities of St. Moritz and Lausanne. The railway line is approximately 290 kilometers long and passes through breathtaking scenery. The Glacier Express dates back to 1930, when it was built to allow tourists to enjoy the Alps. You may not know that the Glacier Express is one of the slowest high-speed trains in the world, with an average speed of only 36 kilometers per hour. This line is known as the "flagship of slow travel" because it was designed to allow passengers to slowly appreciate the surrounding beauty. The Glacier Express is open all year round. The entire route is about 7.5 hours long. The scenery varies in each season. You can choose the itinerary according to your preferences and schedule. One of the places the express must pass is the Chilberg railway station, this historic station is an important stop for the Glacier Express. You can get off here and explore the surrounding town and natural scenery. Many passengers also check in here! The Glacier Express also crosses the famous Lake Zurich and the Rhine River, offering views of the azure waters of the lake and the winding curves of the river. The carriages have first-class facilities, with all seats having large windows and equipped with charging sockets, making it very convenient for passengers to check in while charging! 🔸Warm Tips🔸 The Swiss official railway bureau offers promotional offers from time to time. My Swiss Pass happened to have a buy 8-day get 4-day free offer, which saved me a lot of travel expenses! Before going to Switzerland, remember to pay close attention to the official website announcement! #2024travelwishlist #Switzerlandtravel #Switzerland #Overseastravel #mytravelhacks P.S. 2024 I want to travel to Antarctica and experience the breathtaking natural beauty of the southern land!
