Glacier Express
A panoramic train from Zermatt to St. Moritz. Andermatt is a midway stop, where you can ride the highest section over Oberalp Pass.
The Glacier Express takes about 8 hours and is billed as the world's slowest express train, passing 291 bridges and 91 tunnels. Andermatt sits midway along the line. To the east, the train climbs to Oberalp Pass and looks down over the gorges, the highlight of the route. To the west, it passes through the Furka Base Tunnel toward Brig and Zermatt. Panorama carriages require a seat reservation and an extra booking fee. Holders of a Swiss Travel Pass can ride without buying a ticket. If time is short, you can ride just the Andermatt to Disentis section to experience the pass scenery.
