Skip the touristy Glacier Express train and travel the legendary route in 1st class comfort like the Swiss do, with stops for an authentic lunch and sightseeing along the way. The Premium Glacier Express Route Tour takes you along the exact route of the iconic Glacier Express, and includes scenic travel along glaciers, alpine villages, the breathtaking Rhine Gorge, and the Oberalp Pass with your private guide in 1st class luxury. 

The adventure begins in Zurich, when your tour guide picks you up at your hotel and we journey to Chur by train. The mountains open up as we trace our way through the Rhine Gorge, familiarly called the Swiss Grand Canyon, to the charming mountain village of Disentis, where we stop for an authentic lunch with mountain views - perfect for sightseeing and taking in fresh alpine air.  Our train leads us 2000 m. (6560 ft.) to the glaciers over the Oberalp Pass, where we descend to the alpine ski village of Andermatt and return to Zurich.
