- Hannah Hummel checks in on our behalf for the Glacier Express: The journey starts in the winter sports resort of St. Moritz, a vacation destination for the jet set. The eight-hour journey will take her to Zermatt on the Matterhorn - one of the Swiss Alps’ highest peaks. Along the way, the train traverses a pass some 2,000 meters up, crossed almost 300 bridges and trundles through 91 tunnels. Travelers can marvel at panoramas of spectacular mountain scenery through the train’s
extra-large windows.
On the journey, enjoy the exclusive on-board service including a three-course meal of Swiss cuisine. Tickets in Excellence Class cost 650 euros, giving you a seven-course meal with wine pairing, champagne, and even a concierge.
Who wouldn't want to take a trip?

If I could choose one person as a travel partner it would be Hannah. Even if the weather was miserable her smile would be enough to brighten my day. She is the reason I have the travel bug! 😍
Sometime I Watch This To Just See the Beautiful Smile of Hannah😊😊
Sad Git !
K
Me too she has such a pure smile
Hannah is very pretty 😍
Traditional Swiss food cooked by Indian migrant workers 😂 that’s so typically Swiss. Food cooked by Indians, watches made by polish, cheese produced by french, chocolate manufactured by Ghanaians but it’s all Swiss 🤣
We're Dutch, we own a chalet in Mattertal close to Zermatt. We travelled with the glacier express to Sankt Moritz and back the other day. The train is modern but the train tracks much be old. The train goes very slow and the train journey is not very comfortable. After more than 8 hours we're glad to get out. Views are beautiful. Zermatt is car-free, making it a more beautiful place than St. Moritz.
All the steep sections are on rack-and-pinion. This causes a LOT of vibration that can be felt, especially if you're sitting close to the loco.
man I love Will C.. GBR!
This is something I would love to experience. This is definitely on my bucket list. I have never been on a real train before.
Hannah very soon i will come to German... I love your Nachricht.
Good night friends and very good video 😍
She's so beautifull that I forgot to watch the surrouding mountains...
Hannah is brilliant .She has got extremely positive vibe . The reason I watch this channel
I could not agree more. She is a gem.
Such a well done show, danke😊😊😊😊❤❤🙋♂️🇺🇸
Thanks for the informative video. I want to take the Glacier Express some day too. I think I agree with your route, east to west, that way the sun isn't constantly in my eyes.
I thought the same when on the train ;)
give theglacial express a miss or take the localtrains outside lunch hour. glacial express is daylight robbery.
Hannah has really good positive vibes reason I was in this video ✨
Is this Hannah replying to us secretly 🤫 ?

We love ❤Swiss Train 🐱🐱🐱
Very beautiful and also very attractive all scenes and also beautiful photography so thanks
Kya cinematography hai .It's amazing and beautiful .Great efforts put by everyone who is involved in this Masterpiece
Both the views and the dishes looked gorgeous. I'm jealous! The snow-dusted Alps are magnificent! You must've had a fantastic time on the train.👍
So true!
*Dishes ? You Gotta be Kidding @ **3:15** would cost no more than 2 CHF but Charged Nearer 50 CHF no doubt - would not feed my Dogs that Rubbish !*
@@GrrMeister 2 Francs, what kind of meat costs 2 Francs alone. You’re funny 🤡
"Riding the Glacier Express was truly an unforgettable experience! The breathtaking scenery was nothing short of amazing, with snow-capped mountains, sprawling valleys, and picturesque villages passing by the window. I was completely swept away by the stunning vistas and felt grateful for the opportunity to take in the natural beauty of the Swiss Alps in such a unique and awe-inspiring way."❤😊
Nonsense! you pay much less and see much more on the berniner express. Glacial express is fleecing the tourists.
Fantastic travel video, great shots. Well done. Greeting from IRAN 🇮🇷 ❤
Beautiful Sceanic Ride 🇨🇭
Snowglobe for sure. Thanks, HH
Just awesome...❤
I never rode the Glacier Express but enjoyed rides on the Furka-Oberalp and Rhätiche Bahn a couple times in the 1980s. There are some details that are wrong in this video. First is the obvious one that the passage over the Furka was impossible during winter because not only did the snow block it, but there was an entire bridge that had to be disassembled/reassembled every year because otherwise Mother Nature would tear it down. Also, until the opening of the Furka base tunnel, the highest point was not the Oberalppass but the Furkapass. For anyone actually caring about the trains, I suggest they look at the heritage trains still operating part if the old track. Lots of videos on YT.
Beautiful ❤️
St Moritz is my favourite ski resort and have been a dozen times. The scenery is gorgeous and the train trip worth every penny.
*Quote from Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich no doubt posing again !*
My one is Zermatt
St Moritz is a pretty ugly village.
Maybe skiing is good there?
Mine is Jungfrau
@@susanhonegger9987 the slopes aren’t that great either, it’s just got a load of upmarket bouji shops, bars and hotels, and of course it’s prestigious location, great if you’ve got shedloads of dough to throw away frivolously in order to pose pretentiously.
I subscribed because any channel that featrures the Glacier Express is worthy of my allegiance.
Welcome to our channel! Nice to have you here.
Dankeschon DW, Hannah...What a lovely trip in the Swiss Alps...Prepares me for my train journey next week (last week of Feb 2022) from Bangalore to Pondicherry...My first trip out of home after a span of 2 years...Cheers.
@Francis Doss That sounds like a wonderful trip!
kalka express in shimla is also terrific
Grazie, video stupendo 👍
Beautiful!! I love the views and winter landscapes
WHAT. A. BUTIFUL. JURNEY
Que hermoso tren Glacier Express Suiza 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤
Amazing
Hannah you did well 👍🏻
저는 이 영상을 보고 스위스로 가기로 결정했습니다.
I've been on the Chur to St. Moritz stretch, it's astonishingly beautiful. Best option is to look out for the special one day discount tickets from SBB in advance, which allow you to travel for 24 hours anywhere in Switzerland on the train, bus and some ferries. (Otherwise it's very expensive!)
Thank you for the tip!
Would this include riding on the Glacier Express?
@@beiibibeiibi you will need to reserve seats, which you anyways need to do. Instead you can take local trains which travel same route and are cheaper as you don't need to reserve seats
If you live in Switzerland you can get yearly off peak season passes that give you access to most trains all year round
Loved the video
Wonderful scene and beautiful you.
Love It!, It's almost like taking a virtual tour of the majestic Swiss Alps!👍😍
Thanks! 😃
nonsense! take theberniner express to 100x more.
Amazing video
Love you 💓💓💓💓💓 so much 💕💕💕💕 darling 💕💕💕 darling 💕💕 darling 💕💕
The train engineer said that summer is also dangerous but it wasn't included in the translation :) Thanks for the content Hannah and DW!
@Joe Barrera Oops.. Thanks for watching!
Yes it was included
Nice
Love ❤
Love your Scottish accent!
Tobleron of zamert is very delicious....not so sweet...the regular class area is ok to open the window...amazing how cold it is...thanks mam hannah for sharing...new subscriber from philippines...im romellcortes..
Beautiful did the whole track in 2018 (2nd class) but the mountain view doesn't care in which class you travel
harika olmuş
Thank-you Dw 🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳
@Crazy Books Pleasure!
2:11 "refuel" you know that those are electrical engines and powered by overhead lines?
I thought the same...she probably means restock. Food ect.
@@Slithermotion Ups - that's was our mistake. Sorry for that and thank you for this important hint! We will take this part out. Greetings!
Haha, good one
Typically, there would be an engine switch, since the Rhätiche Bahn sections (Disentis-Chur-St Moritz) don't have the rack-and-pinion tracks of the old Furka-Oberalp parts.
Hello. Love your videos!
Just wanted to ask how to book the glacier express? I do have a swiss travel pass for 4 days. Thanks heaps
The train is amazing 🤩 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌌🌌🌌🤩🤩👑👑👑🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🍿🍿🍿🤣🥳
Bellissima 👍👍👍👍❤️
@Hannah I absolutely love your green/blue cardigan gillet (with buttons)! Where did you buy it? I so want it! Thanks in advance
Gorgeous. When is DW Travel going to finally go 4K/HDR?
@Henry Garrett It's currently not provided - but stay tuned ! Thanks for watching.
❤
Wow! She is bilingual!

What's the difference between 2nd and 1st class when it comes to food served?
Great video.. i have question.. from Zurich which one is closer.. St. Moritz OR Zermatt? Also once we reach to St. Moritz or Zermatt after 8 hrs of train journey. How we get bk to Zurich OR Geneva? Pls reply thnx
Nice ✔
Is this train included in the swiss travel passes?
on which month was this video shoot? planing to go march and dunno how the view will be
February and March are good months for a trip there!
@@DWTravel thanks.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍
Hi, Can you reccommend which part of the way is more beautiful. From Zermatt to Chur or from Chur to St. Moritz?
To make a decision here is difficult, because both are beautiful!
👍👍👍
Can we get down stops and explore it for a few hours and then get on the next train for going to the next stop?
No, but instead you can take local trains with no reservation required. They run every one hour, but required to change train in Chur, Disentis, Andermatt and Brig.
which class off tickets did you choose?
Ooo I live in chur
Why did the Engineer say it was dangerous? I took the glacier express in September from Zermatt to Saint Moritz and I was a nervous wreck between Chur and Saint Moritz. So that is very interesting to hear the engineer say that! I thought I was being a baby for being scared. It was definitely worth it though, for the beautiful views. The food onboard was delicious as well. There was an accident where a waiter fell with a bunch of dessert plates and broke his knee in our car, so that was unfortunate.
It's the Alps. There's always the possibility that there's been a rockfall onto the tracks.
Could you please tell me the details of your costume 🥰
It looks so elegant on you
And of course the whole video
Seeing your video for the first time and immediately hit the subscription 🥰
Please tell me what name of your camera?
Wasn't Rachel on this train too? Looks like everyone at DW loves this train then!
@Pranav Hinduja Was she? 🤔
@@DWTravel Think we'll have to ask Rachel to find out haha! Wasn't there a video with her on this train on CZcams last week? I believe there was - It was listed as a 'short' I think
My keen desire to go to Switzerland please help me
Only 7 and a half minutes???
Hannah! I have seen a lot of presenters in my life...All of them failed your charisma! I have a new idol..
Who did you book with to go?
I wud hv preferred a beer
Where in the name express does it say it's supposed to be fast?
Nowhere. It qualifies as an "express" by not stopping at a number of intermediate stations, which makes it slightly faster on average. Same way as the New York subway has express trains that zoom past some stations but actually go the same speed as the regulars on the tracks.
What time of the year Was it?
January.
Love you 💓💓💓💓 so much 💕💕💕 darling 💕💕 darling 💕💕 please marry me
Ganz shoene Reise.
Hi where can I buy tickets for this train
On the website of the Glacier express. It's easy to find.
Meanwhile in the U.K. the rains are twice the price and can’t even run a skeleton service in the summer to schedule
the world's slowest express train :-)
Train driver... i thought he was a loco pilot😂😂😂
In 1981 I rode the Furka-Oberalp train Brig-Disentis (not the overpriced Glacier "Express"). In 1989 I returned with my bike and kicked off a "cheater's tour" by riding the local trains up from Chur to the Oberalppass. As I was getting ready to start cycling, the Glacier Express passed me. But as I rode past the lake near the summit and started going downhill, I caught up with the train! People were hanging out the windows, taking pictures, waving and cheering me on as I passed them. So I stopped and photographed them as they passed me. More happy waving. Then I let go of my brakes, passed the train again, stopped at the next serpentine bend, took more pictures, repeat at the next hairpin, then the next. The people on the train eventually got tired of waving at me. Presumably, they were wondering why they'd paid such a hefty surcharge to ride on an "express" train that kept getting overtaken by a cyclist, over and over...
Why is it dangerous?
650 euros for that tiny chair? Are you out of your mind!! 5:58
It is expensive, but that`s why it is called the "Excellence Class"🧐
