What's so strange about seeing Switzerland on the "World's Slowest Express Train"?

The Glacier Express is known as " the world's slowest express train".

At an average speed of around 36 km/h, the Glacier Express runs between two resorts in the Swiss Alps. The train departs from Zermatt, a popular tourist town associated with the 3,883m Matterhorn peak.

The 8-hour journey of the Glacier Express

From Zermatt, the train descends into the Mattertal valley to the Visp peak (658m), then runs to Brig (670m), home to the Aletsch glacier, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.

Tourists can explore almost the entire landscape of Southern Switzerland thanks to this train.

The Glacier Express then climbs to Andermatt (1,435m), running on cogwheel tracks to cross the Oberalpass (2,033m), and then to Dissentis, a town with strong Roman cultural and architectural influences.

Visitors experience the feeling of constantly changing altitudes when traveling on the Glacier Express.

The Glacier Express' final destination is St.Moritz, a mountain resort famous for its hot springs and many structures.

During its 8-hour journey, the Glacier Express takes visitors through a total of 291 large and small bridges, 91 tunnels and numerous aqueducts.

Glass windows help visitors fully enjoy the scenery outside.

Serving tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Alps since 1930, the Glacier Express consists of 6 first and second class cars, 1 restaurant car. The train car is nearly 3m high with a ceiling and large windows made of transparent glass, allowing passengers to fully enjoy the scenery outside.

Europe's highest train station, Jungfraujoch, is located on a rock between the Jungfrau and Mönch mountains, both of which are over 4,000m high.

One of the interesting points is that Europe's highest train station, Jungfraujoch, is also located in the Swiss Alps.
