Zermatt for skiing is a top one in the world. During my business trip to Zurich I took 2 days off from corpo and went to Zermatt by train. I reserved a student hostel with a very good price and spent all day skiing in June. I was there with only 2 other skiers. Greetings from Poland.

[@wildflowerwind6941]

Listening to that kid on the train would have drove me crazy.

[@mewho8714]

[@stefanm.1434]

me too....i don´t know, why there are not more adults only facilities.....eg on airplanes, trains, cruise ships.....the can do a kid train ride, but i want an adults only ride too...

[@danielconde13]

Beautiful train and service - yes, and also the landscape! I was increasingly mesmerized with the tiny details around the seat, like how milimetrically the folding table was designed to achieve maximum size, the different power sockets, individual tablets with an app showing the current location, food presentation, gosh! It's a hefty price, but it seems an excellent money for value ratio, for sure.

800 usd for 5 hour trip? ok=)

[@JuniorShepherd]

@@albert8997 To relax and see one of the most beautiful countrysides in the world? Sure. Flying the same distance in the USA between states could easily cost you the same (e.g. First class on Delta from houston texas to LA, California), you would be tied to an airplane seat, crappy food and unable to stretch your legs. Let's not mention what is there to see at 30,000 feet? Not much. Conlusion of the matter: 800 USD for a premium luxury train ride across the Swiss landscape is a no brainer.

[@jeanmarteau7729]

@@JuniorShepherd It depends, 800$ might not be as much money in the States as it is in most of Europe, it is certainly a lot in western Europe. I took a similar train from Andermatt standard class, also in the Alps, and it was around 70$. The train was nice and the seats comfortable, same views as the luxury class :D. It depends on each individuals' economical situation. I remember spending over 700$ back in 2015 in just 3 days in food and drinks and I didn't even pay for the accommodation.

[@HomeAtLast501]

If you think orchestrating a meal is impressive, you should try to imagine orchestrating man's first flight to the moon! Or the Normandy invasion to liberate the Europeans who couldn't liberate themselves.

Thank you for an honest video without narration, music or drama. It could be a memorable journey, like many others, but depending on your point of view, it's either good or not so good. Stunning scenery and fabulous food is good, having to spend time in the company of fellow travellers with irritating habits is not so good. It's always worth considering your point of view before committing. 8:52

[@JackieBaisa]

Of course. A longer journey is always a risk. What is so special about the 8:52 timestamp? I didn't see anything in particular. Just a guy taking video. These days, that is hardly annoying anymore...

[@robertjarvis3172]

​@@JackieBaisa sorry I don't understand why 8.52 appears on my comment.

[@beavis4play]

agree on being stuck around inconsiderate people - but at 800$ a head, i'd think that would weed out those people. one thing that i did notice on this trip video was how you could hear everyone talking - if kids get loud or there are older people who are "loud talkers" - that could also be very annoying........you make a good point.

[@mcp20366]

I could barely sit through an hour for Church Mass as a kid. And I know I excelled at it as opposed to all the other kids. Now put a kid on a 7+ hour train trip. I think inconsiderate is not even the right word. Earplugs always recommended when commuting. Especially on this tour.

TAKE NOTE GLACIER EXPRESS: The majority of people who commented and wish to come on this trip, do not want to have to hear kids loud in the background! I am one of them. What about offering adult-only trip, or car, or both? Excellent video, really well-made. I wished that for that price, in such a luxury context, you wouldn't have to deal with noisy kids and parents who have lost all sense of discipline, boundaries and good manners.

Дело, конечно, не в национальности, дети есть дети. Но мне кажется запретить в каком то вагоне проезд с детьми, - не будет грубым решением, взрослым иногда нужен покой, особенно в таких путешествиях. Стыдно, что родители не учат детей культурным ценностям других стран, когда приезжают. А за съемку, автор, Вам отдельное спасибо, очень красивые пейзажи и виды внутри вагона. 👍🇨🇭❤

[@TinyMaths]

The most nerve racking experience I've had in mountain ranges was, after hiking for 8 days on the Haute route, from Chamonix to somewhere in Switzerland, I was descending the mountain roads in a small bus. Heart was in my mouth for a big part of the journey looking over the steep edges of those roads. Although the driver obviously knew how to handle the roads, things felt much safer when I was on my own two feet; my fear reactions to looking over the edge of roads was a complete surprise to me. I'd love to take this train ride, but would probably have my eyes shut at this point of the journey 00:35 😆 Anyway, it's an understatement to say that this whole area is 'stunning', really messed with my ideas of what this planet we live on is like.

I took the Glacier Express the day after riding the Bernina Express to Tirano Italy and back and the Glacier Epxress, while nice because I love all Swiss trains it was disappointing and for a very good reason. The Bernina express spirals through mountainsides in tunnels and has jaw dropping accents and descents still today. However the Glacier Express did at one time earn the title of Glacier Express when it went up and over through an icy wonderland. Since then they improved it with a long tunnel to go through the most impressive peak and while it makes excellent sense transportation wise. As a wonder of Switzerland it is knocked down a few notches. Much like if San Francisco were to replace their cable cars with electric self driving trollies that are better in every way. All the magic and uniqueness of what a Cable Car is thought to be seems gone. To be clear, I would not hesitate to go on the Glacier Express again but anyone travelling to Switzerland for the first time or who need to economize or choose what to do and not to do need to know this so they can make up their own mind. ITs still a great trip.

[@SilentTraveler1]

Thank you

[@wyqtor]

You mean when it went up the Furka pass? You can still take the steam heritage train over the pass. The Glacier Express is clearly overpriced and takes too long, better to spend the money on shorter but even more amazing train journeys, like from Zermatt to Gornergrat or from Lauterbrunnen to Jungfraujoch.

[@guidedmeditation2396]

That is a great idea. And I love steam trains. There is nothing wrong with the Glacier Express it just isn't what I expected and as you mentioned it is expensive. BTW the Jungfrau is also very expensive especially when you get to the top and it is all fogged/clouded with no view. Thats nature and the luck of the draw I guess but something to consider for a person only there for a day and they can see its cloudy. Its like flying to Paris but not leaving the airport. @@wyqtor

[@SwissHEHE]

@guidedmeditation2396 You couldn't have done this journey during winter times with the former Furka pass rail route owing to the fact that this part of the journey was closed during winter. That's one of the reason why they build the Furka rail tunnel, which also used for car transport

The scenery is beautiful and the train has large windows to take it all in. Shame about all that screechy noise from the tracks though. The design of the car can feel a little bit too open and the other guests feel a bit too close for comfort. It can get noisy in the cabin, especially with kids onboard. A bit more soundproofing and interesting design on the car for ex plants or curtains would go a long way.
