One of the most beautiful train journeys in the world, the Glacier Express is at its most magical in the winter months – and most dramatic. Silent forests and traditional villages dusted in snow dot the landscape, majestic peaks rising around them in stark contrast. The almost-otherworldly scenery stands out more in the cold light, particularly as you make your thrilling ascent up the 2,044-metre Oberalp Pass – the highest point of the journey.

Rugged peaks tower over lush mountain pastures and verdant valleys as you embark on a walking and rail adventure through the Swiss Alps, including a full day on board the famous Glacier Express. The clear summer days offer spectacular vistas throughout the region, particularly as you near the Matterhorn, and the ancient beauty and warm tones of historic Lucerne in the sun balance the cool blue hues of its eponymous lake.
