This right here is the whole reason that we spent the extra money on our First Class Eurail pass - to be able to take this once-in-a-lifetime train - the Glacier Express. This legendary train ride goes over 8 hours from the incredible Zermatt to the underrated St. Moritz across some of the most breathtaking scenery imaginable. This is Switzerland at it's finest, and most comfortable.
The Glacier Express is usually not cheap - it costs ~$300 at any time of year, and it can be easy to think that it's not worth it. However, with the Eurail pass, the Glacier Express is included (with a mandatory seat reservation fee, you know how Eurail do) and we think it's an absolute must-do if you are in Switzerland and have a Eurail pass.
As far as if it's worth it if you're just buying the ticket yourself? Well, watch this and see for yourself... :)

Hello and thanks for the fun video. I have reservations for 08/2022! I'm super excited and have been watching videos of others who have traveled in the summer. I giggled at how excited you got when you heard the "gong"! I already know that I will have the same excitement. We're starting with the Bernina Express then onto the Glacier Express. Similar to you, we have the Eurail pass so I'm glad that we will save the money for these special trips!

Hi guys! I watch Eurail vids all the time, as I was going to Europe in 2020(lockdown🤦🏼‍♀️). Now I will still be going as soon as I can get the trip back together.. with one month in German language school & a two month Eurail pass(have to get that fixed too.) I have to congratulate both of you for, in my opinion, the best Eurail videos I have seen! Thank you so much! Of course as a 👵🏻 it will be a much s l o w e r trip!😂❤️👵🏻 do hire yourselves out to Seniors as guides? That would be great! We may be old, but not dead yet & still wanna have fun!😆😁

Hi guys! Fantastic video - thank you so much for sharing your Glacier Express experience. I am heading to Switzerland in a months' time and wanting to do the Glacier Express using the Swiss Travel Pass which is free. Which website did you use to make a seat reservation? And was there a reservation fee of 49 CHF which you had to pay in addition? Thank you!

Hi Lisa and Josh, Well that is an interesting day trip. It may have worked out a better idea to catch the Glacier Express in Brig at 10.18 that way you could leave Interlaken at 9.00 and connect in Brig then on the Glacier Express to Chur then continue to Innsbruck. You need to at least overnight in Zermatt and see the Matterhorn at a minimum it is such a beautiful place.As it was I'm guessing you were only in Zermatt for an hour or less? Not to mention not as many connections along the way, maybe next time? Thanks
@LisaAndJosh
@LisaAndJosh 2 года назад
yeah - I wish... well, that we had more money, staying in zermatt was EXPENSIVE - way outside our budget. it looked beautiful though - next time hopefully :)

@@LisaAndJosh You MUST. You have not lived a full life if you haven't had Zweifel Paprika chips. This is a widely shared, fundamental semi-religious truth in the Swiss society and not even open to debate. It is possibly THE ONLY thing all Swiss agree upon. 😄🙏😂
