Over 20 gigantic 4000 and more meter-high peaks surround the rocky ridge between the Findelen and Gornergletscher, at 1500 meters above Zermatt. Since over a century a cog railway has made its way here – and still does today, every 24 minutes. 

From the 3135 meter-high viewing platform accessible year-round, views extend over the Gorner Glacier to Monte Rosa with its ten snow-capped summits and notorious Matterhorn. Sunsets viewed from the Kulm Hotel on the Gorner ridge are truly remarkable. 

World-renowned are views of the mighty Matterhorn mirrored in the lake on a day free of wind. Not to speak of numerous bike and hiking routes in all directions, topped by an alpine path over the glacier that leads to the new SAC Monte-Rosa hut.

Immerse Yourself in the Swiss Alps on an Express Train That Takes Its Time

For instance, guests can splurge on a multi-course meal or opt for a la carte items like regional cheese plates and chicken tikka masala. As of a 2020 renovation to celebrate the train line’s 90th anniversary, Wi-Fi and power sockets are also available to every passenger for free. Meanwhile, the seats themselves are comfortable, while the cars are spacious and relaxing to be in. Trust us when we say that if you haven’t yet sipped a crisp white from a tilted glass while traversing the Alps , it’s unclear if you’ve even lived. So, ready to climb aboard one of the most scenic train rides in the world ? Here’s what you need to know to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime travel experience.

How to book your trip on the Glacier Express

An individual ticket ranges from 73 Swiss francs to 268 Swiss francs depending on how far you go and whether you’re cool with second class or want to get fancy in first class . (That’s about $83 and $306, respectively.) The seat reservation fee ranges from 29 Swiss francs to 420 Swiss francs. The cheaper end is for a first or second-class seat during the low season (December to May) going a shorter distance, while the more expensive fees are for those living it up in the so-called “excellence class” during the high season (May to October)—for the full eight-hour trip, of course.

Whatever type of ticket you choose, the journey is mostly about the view, and you can get that anywhere on the train. It should go without saying that snagging a window seat is the way to go, so you don’t have to lean over a stranger to snap your pics. But don’t worry too much about what side of the train you’re on—if you’re going the full route, the train actually reverses directions going into and out of Chur. It is wise, however, to go for a spot in the middle of the coach, so you’ll be guaranteed a wider view regardless of which way you’re traveling.

Where to start and stop on the Glacier Express

One of the Glacier Express’ termini, St. Moritz has twice hosted the winter Olympics. That means it’s heaven for anyone into skiing or snowboarding, though it’s hard to imagine not having a good time there. It’s a place to hike, mountain bike, or even slide down a famous bobsled run at breakneck speeds. And for those who aren’t into the outdoors at all, St. Moritz has a range of swanky shops, grand hotels, and really everything you need to relax without worrying you might also fall on your face.

While the Glacier Express only runs between St. Moritz and Zermatt, you’re not required to start your journey at those specific stops. For many passengers, the town of Chur makes a great starting point. It’s often called the oldest town in Switzerland, and is still host to millennia-old archeological finds. The quaint, car-free Old Town is well-preserved and a great place for a stress-free stroll. Chur also has the highest concentration of restaurants and bars in the country. Not only that, it’s the largest shopping center between Zurich and Milan.

Notable sights along the way

Rhine gorge.

They call it the “ Grand Canyon of Switzerland,” and it was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in June 2002 for good reason. This place is a serious beaut. It’s largely inaccessible by road, so enjoy the opportunity to sit back and see the results of a prehistoric rockslide. Today, it’s where the Rhine River winds through massive geological formations, resulting in a picturesque ravine.

Albula Line

The Albula Line, a twisting section of the railway located between Filisur and St. Moritz, is where you’ll traverse many of those viaducts and tunnels that make the Glacier Express so incredible—including the famous Landwasser Viaduct. Anyone interested in railway engineering—or stunning scenery—is sure to be impressed. It is, after all, a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well.

Landwasser Viaduct

Did someone say viaducts? The Landwasser Viaduct is the most famous along the Glacier Express route, standing at 65 meters (or a little over 213 feet high) and stretching 142 meters (or around 466 feet long) before disappearing into a tunnel. Since it comes up just outside of the village of Filisur, it’s a good reason to make sure your chosen itinerary includes the railway’s eastern section. You’ll be able to see—and enjoy—the marvel’s highly pronounced curve from fairly far away.

The route of the Gornergrat Railway

We already showed a short description of the intermediate stations between Zermatt and the summit: Gornergrat. Let’s dive a bit deeper into the route of the Gornergrat Railway.

Starting station: Zermatt

The start of the Railway is in Zermatt, at an altitude of 1608 metres, you can hop on the train. Zermatt is a famous ski resort, with excellent ski facilities during the winter season. And of course, the Gornergrat Railway.

1st Station: Findelbach

So let the journey begin, we are on the train, travelling to the first stop: Findelbach(1770 metres). This is quite close to the starting station in Zermatt, here you can have a nice walk, and take a camera with you to take some beautiful photographs. This is not the stop for skiers, it is a nice place to stop if you want to ice climb, these routes start here.

2nd Statin: Riffelalp

From Findelbach station to the next station Riffelalp at 2211 metres is a beautiful place to get off the train, a lovely place to relax. If your purpose is skiing, you can go to the Furl lift, this is the starting point of the ski area.

The Riffelalp station is the starting point of the historic Riffelalp tram line, the tram travels to the Hotel Riffelalp, this hotel dates back to 1884!

3rd Station: Riffelberg

Station 3 is Riffelberg at an altitude of 2582 metres. This station is a perfect place to enjoy the views of the majestic Matterhorn. If your purpose is skiing then this is a great starting point.

With an entrance to the pistes and the Girthittli chair, this is a perfect spot for beginner skiers. Here you can find more easy pistes. The views are fabulous!

4rd Station: Rotenboden

Arriving at the fourth station Rotenboden at an altitude of 2815 metres. As Riffelberg already gave a beautiful view of the Matterhorn, the Rotenboden station gives an even more beautiful viewing point, this is the station to get out if you want to make the famous picture of the reflecting Matterhorn on the lake.

5th Station: Gornergrat

Time to head to the final station: Gornergrat at an altitude of 3089 metres. This is the final station where skiers and hikers get out, to enjoy the breathtaking views or to visit the Kulm Hotel, this hotel has two observatories, which is cool.

Here you can have a fabulous view of the Gorner Glacier, as we mentioned above, this is the second-largest glacier in the Alps. The 360 panorama is incredibly beautiful, you will have a view of so many mountains, as you reach an altitude of 3000 metres!

Some tips to prepare for your visit

Always check the weather forecast first, when it’s foggy outside, and the mountains are covered by clouds, it does not make sense to go up to the Gornergrat. The views won’t be as beautiful as on a sunny day. As you travel from approximately 1600 metres to 3000 metres, take a thin jacket with you.

As temperatures may drop during the journey. Of course take some sunglasses and sunscreen with you, if you travel during summertime. The sun is strong at higher altitudes. Take a hat for your kids too!

During the winter season, take some gloves with you, it can be significantly colder at the summit than at the starting point of the Gornergrat Railway. In our experience, it is a half-day activity. It takes approximately 1 hour to go up and down with the railway.

Of course, the time you spend on the summit depends on what you are going to do, maybe have lunch at the summit with the breathtaking views? In general, we had a trip of around three hours, including travelling with the Gornergrat Railway.

Sick of heights? The Gornergrat is situated at around 3089 metres. People can suffer from some light altitude sickness when travelling above an altitude of around 2000 metres. But, do not let this keep you stopping from visiting the Gornergrat.

Just take it easy, sit down for around 15 minutes, get used to the altitude and once you feel okay, continue the journey. Please take it slow, and stop now and then, this is especially for the elderly, or people with less good health or pregnant women. In general, staying at an altitude like this, just for a few hours is not a problem at all.

Best season to hop on the Gornergrat Railway

The best season to hop on the Gornergrat Railway depends on the purpose of your visit. If you are in Zermatt to ski then visit the Gornergrat during the winter season. Also for winter hiking, this is a perfect time. The views of the snowy landscape are fabulous too!

We travelled during the summer season, this is a lovely time too, all flowers are flourishing and the greenery is so beautiful. Also most of the time during the summer season it does not get as cloudy as in the autumn season.

In this blog post, you can read about everything you need to know about the Gornergrat Railway. The train is fully electric, which is good for the environment, the train travels from Zermatt to the summit of the Gornergrat in around 30 minutes.

The views are breathtaking. You can take the route in sections, there are five stations in total, in the blog you can read more detailed information about the intermediate stations.
