    What an absolutely beautiful country Switzerland is. Like heaven on earth. That was such a wonderful train ride. The seats were so beautiful and the skylight let you see the scenery. The food looked so yummy too. Thank you Kuga! Merry Christmas 🎄

    Thank you for taking us along on your journeys. I will likely always be too poor and/or riddled with crippling anxiety to travel on my own, so these videos will probably be the closest I come to seeing these beautiful and fascinating places.

    The Zermatt-Chur-Express is actually there to relieve the Zermatt-St-Moritz trains, and is mainly booked by tour operators. This way, they can offer a GE experience to their clients, and leave the "long" GE to the individual travellers, which prefer to do the entire run and pass a few days in Switzerlands most famous alpine towns.
    Nice to see you had a few happy days in Switzerland this summer - I enjoyed seeing your view on my country as much as I enjoy seeing yours (where I *will* go a second time) through the eyes of a local 😊

    The Glacier Express is an experience like no other.But boy, it is slow. We took it from Chur to Zermatt on a 6 hr journey. The ride had its ups and lows where you get perked up passing by an awesome scenery and sometimes dozing off but it was great all in all. Kuga san seem to be the only passenger at that time 😁

    The train looked very comfortable to travel in. And the panoramic view of it of the scenery very beautiful. I really enjoyed it and I know you did too now the meal looked good too. IDK what you call it in Japan but we call it meatloaf here. I'm glad you had a great time. Just out of curiosity did you happen to go to Paris. I've been there and it's one of my favorite cities in the world well besides Tokyo.

    グレーシャー・エクスプレス、いいですよねー。山もいいけど、小川ぎりぎりのところを走っていて、いちいち「わお!」って感動していました。1stクラスの方が2ndより食事が早く運ばれてくるので、ランチを頼みたい人は1stの席を取ったほうがいいですね。2nd席の人は、念の為スナックなど買い込んで持ち込むといいかも。Churで降りて散策されたのでしょうか?中世の歴史を色濃く感じる素敵な村ですよね。

    Chur bro, gained a new sub here from NZ. Wishing our rail culture was more prevalent here as its not considered an option by 99% of the population for reason unknown to be honest, but you have inspired in me a desire to explore the world of and by rail. Cheers, mate, the simple but straight-up captions are good too, are these captioned in other languages in CZcams itself? Just a thought. Keep up the good work 👍

    Considering the total cost of your average holiday to Switzerland, I would highly recommend spending more money for the 1st class cars on all trains. It initially looks like a lot of money on paper, but it will only increase the total cost of your holiday by a few percentage points, and it's well worth it!

    @samuelbhend2521 Před rokem +1

    Here in Switzerland, 1st Class is always half empty just because of the Price alone. Even in Rushhour, 2nd Class will be People standing in the Corridors and sitting on the Steps, but 1st Class will still be half empty, as nobody is willing to pay extra Money to sit in 1st Class. It is not even a real Upgrade in quality over 2nd Class, just less People/Waggon.
    Special Trains like Glacier Express or GoldenPass sometimes differ a bit more between the Classes, but that will cost a Sh*tload of extra fees, as those don't serve any real Purpose/Service and are pure touristic Sightseeing Gimmicks....
