Among the many landscape train routes in Switzerland, "Glacier Express" and "Golden Pass" are the most famous.Glacier Express is the star of Switzerland in winter.Because the railway is built on the remains of glaciers, a few glaciers can be seen along the road, so it is called Glacier Express.Its speed is only 35 kilometers per hour, known as "the slowest observation train in the world".The Glacier Express starts from St. Moritz in the East and ends at Zermatt in the west, with a total length of 291km. It passes 291 bridges and 91 tunnels, with a total length of about 8 hours. It connects the Danube River Basin, Rhine River Basin and long river basin of St. Moritz.Along the way, the train passes through mountains and deep valleys, with a drop of 1429 meters between the highest point and the lowest point.It's like a thrilling roller coaster to climb to the top at first and then dive down.Red carriages gallop among the Alps, streams, valleys, waterfalls, countryside and villages. The scenery is picturesque.Generally, there are only three rows of seats in the train carriage, with wide and comfortable seats and panoramic windows.There are English and Chinese introductions in the whole process. When a scenic spot appears, a prompt will appear on the electronic screen.Of course, the ticket price of Glacier Express is not cheap, and it needs to pay positioning fee in addition to the ticket price to choose a seat to get on.
