They do check tickets on board for even the short rides. Do not get fined without having a ticket on the trains or get caught in first class when you pay for second class. We saw 6 persons taking out their cards to pay.

This is quite the train station. Trains are efficient and on time…read more Minus one star because there aren't that many benches, and the keyboard on the ticket kiosk is not QWERTY, which is kind of confusing, when you are looking for a Z and it is where the T should be.

This village is another great starting point when traveling through Bernese Oberland. There are so…read moremany attractions in and around Grindelwald. The experiences can vary from day to day (and season to season) since there are so many different activities and sights to see in the area. You could really spend a whole week here. We started our journey to Jungfraujoch from the Grindelwald Terminal via the Eiger Express. It's the fastest way to get to Eiger Glacier station. There are some amazing views of Grindelwald and the Eiger during this 15 minute ride. After that, we walked through the main part of town to take in the Alpine scenery all around us. There are many shops, restaurants, and hotels decorated with flowering plants. They could all be that beautiful postcard picture with the Swiss chalet and mountain backdrop. It's no wonder why this has become a very popular resort village. Even the views between the houses and shops were amazing. It was a dream come true. A place that we always wanted to visit together. A very happy place!

This small mountain village is freaking awesome. Grindelwald is in the Bernese Oberland (Jungfrau…read moreRegion) of the canton of Bern. Eiger mountain in the background is awe inspiring. It is by far one of the most photogenic alpine backdrops in the world. You gotta visit in person to appreciate the view. Photos are not enough. Visiting in winter is even more stunning as the town is covered in snow - it's damn beautiful.

My friend and I compared bucket lists last year, and a train trip through the Alps combined with…read moresome skiing was right at the top for both of us. We planned an amazing trip starting in Zurich, hitting Chur, St. Moritz, Zermatt, Interlaken, and Lucerne, all by train - a truly incredible experience! But the absolute highlight (besides the amazing Alpine skiing) was our journey on the Glacier Express, specifically the legs from Chur to St. Moritz and then on to Zermatt. The service was top-tier, the food was delicious, and those panoramic windows extending up to the roof... they perfectly framed the breathtaking alpine scenery. The glistening snow and beautiful sunny days created a truly magical atmosphere. The hours flew by way too quickly! I highly recommend the Glacier Express for anyone seeking an unforgettable and scenic journey through the heart of the Alps. It's an experience you won't soon forget.

Consistently rated as one of the top scenic train rides in the world for good reason. Incredible…read morejaw dropping vistas greet you around each turn as you travel on the "slowest express train" through the Swiss Alps. The route connects Zermatt (home of the Matterhorn) to the Bond-esque super high roller town of St. Moritz. At just over 290km and a duration of 8 hours. There are stops along the way if you want to shorten your trek but why? Note: This is a review of the new Excellence Class. One private car for Excellence Class passengers only. 20 very comfortable, fully adjustable seats arranged in two rows. All have unobstructed views. The car also includes a well selected bar and a private water closet. Service is outstanding. From a welcome greeting with the conductor on the red carpet entry, to porters who will stow your luggage, the limitless pours of welcome champagne, through a five course meal service paired with bottomless pours of Swiss wines. Timing is everything. The meal is served across five hours giving plenty of time to take in the views. The food is excellent considering it is prepared on a moving train. Solid flavor, properly prepared, beautifully plated. A lot of thought has been taken to prepare a meal with only regional ingredients and match them to equally well sourced regional wines. The best part, an hour into the journey, all pretences of being on a luxury train and observing "silence" that is expected on Swiss railways is dropped and you will find yourself jovially interacting with everyone else in the car. Chatting up the adventure, air dropping pics and just having a good time. Note: Wear layers. With all the glass, the car becomes a "green house" and heats up on a sunny day. 7C outside but it felt like 27C inside. Note: Bring sun glasses. For obvious reasons, there are no window shades. Let the sun shine in! Note: For pics, the glass is extremely reflective and will interfere with most pics. Bring a lens hood if possible and hold it against the glass for clear shots unless your PhotoShop skills are impressive. How to Book: 1. Use the official Glacier Express website, Excellence Class page. There is a separate booking portal. 2. Choose the route (Zermatt to St. Moritz or vice versa). If you take a train to either starting location, you will overlap part of the route. To avoid this, book a private car or drive to the start point. 3. Pay the 420CHF per person "seat reservation" at booking. IMPORTANT: On the day of departure, when you arrive at the red carpet, you must show your receipt of the seat reservation and a FIRST CLASS ticket (268CHF) or valid FIRST CLASS Swiss Travel Pass or Euro rail pass. Honestly, I can't think of a better way to see the natural beauty of Switzerland. Just do it!
