Switzerland Glacier & Bernina Expresses feat. The Matterhorn

Three of the most iconic European rail journeys and a breath-taking homeward voyage through the “romantic” Rhine Gorge combine to make this week-long rail holiday a great way to experience some of the best of what European rail has to offer. The Glacier Express trundles across 291 bridges, including the truly spectacular Landwasser Viaduct, finally completing the day-long trip on the UNESCO World Heritage Albula Line. The Bernina Express showcases a variety of glorious scenery; white glaciers, green valleys and turquoise lakes as you pass from Switzerland into Italy and back, and the trio of Swiss rail journeys is complete with a trip up the Gornergrat for the best viewpoint of the mighty Matterhorn mountain.
