The Glacier Express—Switzerland’s most famous train journey—has recently launched Excellence Class, a premium carriage offering the most exclusive way to experience the scenic eight-hour ride between Zermatt and St. Moritz. Travelers in Excellence Class can enjoy a multicourse gourmet meal, a private cocktail bar and views of the breathtaking Alpine landscapes out huge windows.

Rather than covering the whole Glacier Express route in one day, we recommend breaking the journey into a leisurely two-day experience with an overnight in Andermatt. This leisurely pace allows time for private touring of the cultural and scenic highlights of Geneva, Lausanne, the Lake Geneva region, Zermatt and St. Moritz.

…enjoy private cultural tours and activities, including wine tastings in historic vineyards, private cheese and chocolate-making experiences, reservations at top restaurants…
