In eight hours, the panoramic train conveys its passengers from St Moritz via Andermatt to Zermatt or vice versa. The Glacier Express crosses 291 bridges and travels through 91 tunnels along the way.
Thanks to extra-large windows, the panoramic carriages offer an unrestricted view of craggy steep rock faces, untouched forests and deep gorges. The train ride also leads past delightful plains, bizarre rock formations and crystal-clear mountain lakes. The Glacier Express stops in numerous mountain villages full of charm and Swiss flair – in Andermatt too. Stepping off board is rewarding!
The Glacier Express runs throughout the year.
Note: Tickets and timetables can be found or ordered on the Glacier Express website.
Andermatt became interesting for tourists thanks to none other than Goethe, who travelled through Switzerland in the 18th century and raved about the mountain village. The Russian military general Suworow made the region even more famous during the war of 1799 against the French forces of Napoleon. When the connection from G\u00f6schenen to Ticino via the Gotthard was made passable in 1840, the era of stagecoaches began. Today, the Historical Stagecoach reminds of this time as an exclusive way to get to Ticino.<\/p>
The world wars in the 20th century drew the military to Andermatt, where it had stationed a large number of staff until the 1990s. The Sasso San Gottardo Fortress inside the mountain is now open to the public and offers a unique insight into this part of history. In the new millennium, one of the largest tourist projects in Switzerland has been realised in Andermatt - Andermatt Swiss Alps. The Egyptian investor Samih Sawiris is building a new resort next to the existing village centre. The ski area is also being continuously modernised and, thanks to the connection to Sedrun, is also being expanded.<\/p>","geocoordinates":{"longitude":8.59466,"latitude":46.636941},"highlight":false,"id":"5ef0d3d4-16a8-45bf-886c-227847ea0bdd","invisible":false,"latitude":46.636941,"license":"none","locale":"en","longitude":8.59466,"name":"Andermatt","sourceInformationLink":"","tipFamous":false,"tipHighlight":false,"tipIdyllic":false,"tipNatural":false,"tipOffTheTrack":false,"tipOnlyHere":false,"tipPopular":false,"tipTypicalForRegion":false,"type":"area","updatedAt":"2022-11-14T15:59:30","createdAt":"2021-07-06T12:50:10","primaryCategory":{"id":"33273e12-1b93-4d6f-bf1d-03dbbe4446b5","name":"Community","nameWithParents":"Area \u00bb Location \u00bb Community","rootline":["f82359f3-b904-409d-a6bc-d70527e38d8f","33273e12-1b93-4d6f-bf1d-03dbbe4446b5"],"rootlineNames":["Area","Location","Community"],"type":"city","invisible":false},"address":null,"client":{"id":"10170bcd-78b9-430a-885f-5e62af52c219","name":"Andermatt","url":"","logo":null,"legalClient":{"id":"8ffab43a-941a-4195-9bb6-f1ea30fa4335","name":"Andermatt-Urserntal Tourismus GmbH","url":"https:\/\/www.andermatt.ch\/","logo":{"id":"cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f","name":"logo_aut.jpg","description":"","url":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/storage\/client\/logo\/d742ed1897bf7b7dfb5de4ba0d4cdba0f69e82790bd370b70f3134e357c27410.jpg","size":0,"license":"none","path":"client\/logo\/d742ed1897bf7b7dfb5de4ba0d4cdba0f69e82790bd370b70f3134e357c27410.jpg","preview":{"image\/jpeg":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/api\/v1\/file\/cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f\/d742ed\/view?w=500&fm=jpg","image\/webp":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/api\/v1\/file\/cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f\/d742ed\/view?w=500&fm=webp"},"sizes":{"thumb":{"image\/jpeg":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/api\/v1\/file\/cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f\/d742ed\/view?w=64&h=64&fm=jpg","image\/webp":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/api\/v1\/file\/cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f\/d742ed\/view?w=64&h=64&fm=webp"},"medium":{"image\/jpeg":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/api\/v1\/file\/cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f\/d742ed\/view?w=500&fm=jpg","image\/webp":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/api\/v1\/file\/cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f\/d742ed\/view?w=500&fm=webp"}}}}},"author":"Roman Mudrack","copyright":"","externalIds":{"tomasId":"WBX00020010000137901","toubizLegacy":"city.116567","toubizLegacyRemoteId":"location_81017","outdoorActiveId":"1021816"},"languages":["de","en"],"awards":[],"permissions":{"read":true,"write":false,"delete":false},"classifications":[],"webMediaLinks":{"webcam":[{"id":"6b627e72-5ee3-407d-99a1-aa4407f87758","type":"webcam","url":"https:\/\/backend.roundshot.com\/cams\/5\/default","title":null,"description":null,"sorting":0,"createdAt":"2021-08-25 16:03:08","updatedAt":"2022-07-08 10:35:36"}]},"sourceSystemInformation":[{"name":"mein.toubiz","createdItem":false,"lastTouchedAt":"2022-11-14T15:59:30","firstTouchedAt":"2021-11-18T14:56:16","comment":null}],"area":{"zipCodes":[]}}],"areaAccommodations":[],"areaHighlights":[],"areaParking":[],"areaPublicTransport":[],"discoveries":[],"gastronomy":[],"generic":[],"connectedPoints":[],"pointGettingThereParking":[],"relatedContacts":[],"sights":[],"snowGear":[],"snowSlopes":[],"snowTrails":[],"snowTransportation":[],"tours":[],"tourAccommodations":[],"tourContact":[],"tourEndParking":[],"tourEndPoint":[],"tourEndPublicTransport":[],"tourInfrastructure":[],"tourRefreshmentPoints":[],"tourRelatedTours":[],"tourSights":[],"tourStages":[],"tourStagesVariants":[],"tourStartParking":[],"tourStartPoint":[],"tourStartPublicTransport":[],"tourSupport":[],"pointGettingTherePublicTransport":[]},"seo":{"id":"b0cd714f-f9f3-4349-8090-1738a0d26723","metaTitle":"Glacier Express","metaDescription":"291 bridges, 91 tunnels, 8 hours.\nA journey by the world\u2019s slowest fast train from St Moritz to Zermatt is a fantastic experience during a journey through the Swiss Alps.
