Overview

Due to the popularity of the Glacier Express and limited seating availability, we strongly recommend booking this tour at least two weeks in advance to secure your spot on this iconic journey.

Experience Switzerland at its most breathtaking with a private Glacier Express adventure through the Swiss Alps. Begin your day aboard one of the world’s most scenic trains, winding through dramatic landscapes.

After a spectacular 4.5-hour journey, arrive in Brig for a one-hour stroll through its historic center before continuing on to Bern, the Swiss capital. Here, you may choose to enjoy an optional one-hour walk through the UNESCO-listed Old Town.
