We Took The Most LUXURIOUS Train In SWITZERLAND (Worth it?)

- The Glacier Express is known as Switzerland's most luxurious and one of its most expensive train rides. We decided to give it a try from Sankt Moritz to Zermatt while on our trip around Switzerland. Is it worth it? How can you ride it for less? And is there perhaps a better way to enjoy the beauty the Glacier Express has to offer?

We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university and live life full-time. We're planning to visit every country in the world before we're 30. By the time of posting this video, we're both 24 :)
Switzerland was country #69/197🌍
We began our Switzerland trip in Zürich and also visited Interlaken, Bern, Lucerne, and more. Check out our other videos from Switzerland to get a fuller picture!

I love to travel in Switzerland by train. I can recommend you a route it starts from Chur and goes to Tirano, it is the Albula and Bernina line that belongs to the UNESCO Worldheritage since 2008.
Before you all leave Switzerland, you have to try the "Kult Ice Tea" from Migros. It's the best drink in Switzerland and probably every swiss person drank it during childhood.
Beautiful as always!!
If you guys see this, I have a question for you two. 🤓🤓
How many languages can you guys speak? And who speaks what? Just curious when I heard Oskar speaking German. 🤓🤓
We’ll make a video about this soon!😉✨
@@OskarandDan awesome!! I can't wait!! ♥️♥️🤓🤓
0:27 the departure time of the busses are timed on the arrival of the train. Welcome to the swiss transport system :)
IT’S THE BEST😍
Sometimes trains and busses depart with a delay to wait for passengers of other transports that had delay themselves
0:20 this wasn't luck, it's due to the carefully planned Swiss transport system 😉
…which is AMAZING!
That carefully planned Swiss transport excellence makes me miss my connecting tram every time I arrive at the train station by bus…
@@densen650
How bad you loosing 7 minutes every time …!
So , take your car and loose hours…
@@densen650 wow....you must be that clueless or lazy
@@aoilpe Speaking about loosing time with car, Glacier Express route takes 8 and a half hours by train. Exactly the same route takes 4 and a half hours by car and is far more comfortable and scenic since you go over passes and mountain roads while on the train the most interesting part you spend inside the tunnels.
I'd choose a different season. The ride in Winter has more magic.
To look at maybe, but not for getting out. Also, less sun in winter!
Winter would definitely be more magical 🤗
@@whatistishaupto Winter offers a nice snowy view, but it is not a great season for doing things, and a lot less daylight/sun.
@@jdhjimbo 😩 I’m guessing you’ve been! Thanks for the info

I am very happy that you liked the Glacier Express. I myself work at Glacier Express in sales. What I would recommend, if someone wants to travel with the Glacier Express and has a 2nd class Swiss Travel Pass, to stay in 2nd class. The Glacier Express is beautiful in both first and second class. However, the only advantage in 1st class is that there are fewer seats and it is therefore a bit quieter than in 2nd class. However, the window size and service is the same in both first and second class. But if you want to be on the safe side, that no strangers sit next to you and you are only traveling as a couple, then it is only possible to get a two-seater in 1st class.
👏✨
Thanks
One of my dreams is that trip in the Glacier Express! I hope to visit Switzerland next year in May 🙏🏼
Nice advice 👏
Tell me, are there any normal Swiss trains with dining (not cafe) cars these days?
And dont forget folks: Its perfectly fine to bring your own food and drinks to Glacier Express - No need to book an expensiv meal on the train. ;)
How to do first class the right way😉✨
@@OskarandDan Lets say " the Budget" way. :)
oh thank gad, i wasnt about to pay 40$ for a salad haha
@@FluffyMuffs agreed, that is not a 40$ meal lol
Wow !! Okay, now your adventures cause me to want to have my own Swiss adventures. Beautifully done as always. Thanks again for such a great video !
The most luxurious train in Switzerland is the “GoldenPass Classic “ by MOB (BLS/ZB) between Montreux -Lenk im Simmental (-Interlaken-Luzern) with 4 reconstructed Pullman cars and no special fees or reservations needed, leaving twice a day as a normal ordinary train…
Took it on my 21st birthday. Was fantastic!
the fact that i take this train weekly to go to work makes me rethink my entire life
Loved it as always. When you live in a locked up Country and havent been allowed past 5km radius from your home in forever (welcome to Melbourne Australia and have a nice day) anything looks exciting no matter the class. Thanks for sharing.👍
You guys are so fun to watch, i’m glad you enjoyed visiting my country! ☺️ i’m excited to watch more of your videos in the future!
Thank you so much Anna❤️❤️
loved all your videos of switzerland !!
I live in zurich its so interesting to see what other people are amazed by for example like drinking water from a fountain
makes me appreciate all these things again❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much❤️🇨🇭✨
Ich läbä ade Grenze vom Bündnerland und es isch immerno interessant für mich sgseh wie schön d schwiz isch..
I’m anxious to see your Zermatt video!❤️
🙏🥰
Enjoyed, enjoyed, enjoyed throughly, went back to my memories while travelled to Switzerland. Keep up the good work 👌👌
Thank you🙏✨
Wooow , that’s amazing 😍 can’t wait to try it !! Thank you guys for sharing ❤️❤️
Annoying when TH-cam doesn't notify you... But at least I was able to see the video since it showed up on my feed. Thank you guys for sharing your adventures!! Loved it!!
Swiss Man approves of this video.
I hope there's a lot more Switzerland videos to come, especially now that you are in Zermatt.
Definitely!
sehr guete username :)
I have done the route from Chur to Zermatt twice
once on the Glacier Express
and once the other way using local trains
The Glacier express for us
(my partner is disabled)
was good but it was expensive
and I did end up walking up and down the train a lot.
The local trains were for timing
and we got to hear Rumantsch actually being spoken
by local people on their local train service
Luxurious or not, you can't deny those gorgeous views 🤩🤩🤩 Great video guys, keep it up! 👍
Correct! Whichever train you’re on😉🙏❤️
Good video as always, thank you!
Good work on this guys! Love it
It´s fantastic: Seeing this little accomodation at the video´s end and looking out onto the flower meadow in front remembers me in LOVE
Woow what an awesome, interesting, lovely and honest video Oskar and Dan. What an amazing views and a very well made VLOG! I am sorry for the two of you for the high costs of this train first class. This video was a joy to watch again and now a lot of people can choose their way of traveling by train when they visit Switzerland, thank you so much Oskar and Dan 朗👍🎉🎉🎉
Love your bossa nova-esque background music!!
Wonderful video of wonderful swedish gentlemen .keep it up .I appreciate your way of realistic & honest opinions .
I haven't finished watching it yet but I will give you thumbs 👌 up for the video, editing, content...ohhj everything!!!....congrats guys....love it! Very refreshing...
Thank you so much!
Sjukt bra film! Måste åka dit!
" hey we just decided to live our life in its fullest by giving up everything and doing it"
looks a decent decision when u got no financial/life problems
loved the train tho :D
This is what im always thinking when watching these kinds of videos. I wish I could just "decide" to not work and just do what I want
We were making enough money online at that point to support it :) It didn't just "happen."
@@OskarandDan I hope you keep having this life forever
@@jaakkovuorinen7124 Did you not see them editing the videos on the train? Making videos for this TH-cam channel is a lot more work than you realize, apparently.
Omg i found you Dan!!!! How lovely to see both of you travel together ❤
Smashing the thumbs up! 👍
Oh what a beautiful place. Love to see more beautiful city an its view. Lots of love from India.
Fun video as always. Dan, I'm envious that you have Oskar. You're such a cute couple.
🙏❤️
Thank you so much for sharing.🍻
Looks like a gorgeous trip, but I would prefer more stretch stops and to interact with the towns. I took the Golden Pass train from Montreux to Lucern on my 21st birthday, we bought provisions ahead of time, so no expensive lunch. While your Indian meal looked good, $40US is very pricey for a vegetarian meal! Wow! Switzerland is so beautiful, and there is a combo pass that allows you to circumvent the whole country via about 7 days of travel, but not sure what window you have to do so, as I would not want to do it consecutively. My favorite part is Lugano in the warmer south - with Italian, and not German influence. Thexfood is better, too, or the French part near Geneva, though it is cooler there. Both Lausanne and Lucerne are great cities, and for big cities, Geneva and Zurich are good. There are no ugly spots in CH, but all is pricey! I envy your goal to hit 100 countries by 25. I had a similar goal for thex50nUS states. I hit 48 by age 26, butvwas 32 and 34 before getting to HI and AK. Same for every province of Canada, but still have not been to PEI or Newfoundland. Happy travels!
What a great video! The magic views
Hardworking guys .
Very good editing .loved it.
Thanks a lot!
You guys should get paid by Schweiz Tourismus. Like a lot. You are showing this country, my home, in a way most tourists won’t ever know even exists. Much appreciated! ❤️🎈
Yes please😂😂 Thank you!🙏❤️
I took this train in April when the grass is green but snow is still fluffy enough to ski. It was magical. The only con is the sun is extremely bright and strong, should put a lot of sunscreen and wear hat and sunglasses.
hey you guys! Just discovered your channel, nice to see two swedes(as myself) out on adventures.
Tip for you. When filming out off a window like in the train for example, use a polarized filter for your lens too avoid mirroring on the glass. Super nice video tough, keep them coming and stay safe! love from sweden!
Välkommen hit!😁❣️
Before this video i have just heard people saying that they want to visit Switzerland but i dont't know why .But thanks to this video i have added it in my bucket list for those spectacular scenery . Those vistadome coaches were perfect for this route . BTW your Video was very engaging and entertaining . Keep it up. 😊🙏
Thank you so much!🙌❤️
@@OskarandDan btw where are you guys from
I'm from Sri Lanka. Super cool Video. Thanks both of you guys. I start to watch all the video in your channel
Thanks a lot!
I love your videos!! Wonderful 🔥🙌🏻 btw: where did you find your Swiss masks 😍😍love them!!
Wooo new video :D
Hi guys, I hope you are staying well. I just discovered your channel. I enjoy your perspective and analysis. Will definitely follow.
Thank you🙏 Welcome here!😍
Nice video…post this lockdown any travel , even in a over crowded local train, is welcome
so funny to watch as a swiss :) hope you all enjoyed it!
Excellent glacier express train journey, 👌👌👌
Hi guys :) thank you I really liked the video. Low budget tip for next time: the glacier express is a "normal train". With a all swiss travel pass (a day pass you can get from 40.- if you buy in advance). Second class has the same big windows, but might be a lil more crowded. For more luxury ofc you can have the upgrade.
Yes in retrospect just sticking to 2nd might’ve been worth it😂 Still, really would’ve loved to have been able to stop along the way!
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "normal train". You can use regular trains without reservation on this route, as they say in the video, but if you want to use the "Glacier Express" branded train, the not quite cheap seat reservations are mandatory.
I’m using your channel as if it’s some kind of brochure. So I can check out all these different places. Ty
Thank you!
Shit, jeg er glad for dere❤️ Denne kanalen kommer til å vokse❤️❤️❤️
Aaaw tack så mycket Alexandra!🙏
My favorite train route in Switzerland! Enjoy your stay!! Greets from Berne! 🤙
🙏❤️
Jo denn hesch vorigs gäld,, wenn du regelmäßig de Trip machsch wo die zwei Herre gmacht hend..
I went with that train to Zermatt, it was increible, I had so many drinks it was afterwards difficult to go to the hotel, loved it.
Must also try in winter time, it‘s fantastic…
Welcome ❤️ hope you enjoyed it you should visit Sion and the castle Le Gruyères it's in West Switzerland near Montreux it's a nice castle.
Going to Geneva 🇨🇭2022, will put it on my list ❤️🇺🇸 Merci, Danke, thank you !
Thank you!🙏
@@OskarandDan If you want you can visit heavenly Jungfrau in Bern It's in Interlaken to Mürren, generally anywhere in Switzerland it's beautiful you can go to Lugano in Tessin it's a lakeshore town.
The view in the winter would be amazing
2:38 haha nice
Yet another amazing video from Switzerland, you guys definitely never disappoint!😄👍🏼 Also, both of you guys' German is awesome! Macht weiter so Jungs💪🏼
Danke schön Nico!😍
Looks like you two had a great time.
We did!
@@OskarandDan That is so good. Well, be safe traveling always.☺
Your German is so good, you can't tell that you're Swedes.
Johannisbeere/Currant is really tasty.
Danke dir! Yes it’s so under appreciated🙏
wait i didn't catch that and throughout the movie thought he was german xD
Oakar and Dan....that is nice....
Thank you Oskar and Dan ❤❤
Bhat Dal and Papor!
Great to see basic Indian staple included in a meal of such a luxurious ride!
It was a nice experience 💜💛💚
Gorgeous guys!!!!! God bless!!!
Stunning stunning country omg
These young boys seem like jolly good friends.
the daal-chawal main course put a smile on my face... enjoyed your journey😍😍🌾🌾🌾
The cheapest food in India, is served on the most luxurious train in Switzerland , How ironical :3
@@shikhar2811 very well noticed
More views of nature than watching your lunch 😎
Looking at these kind of videos makes ne realise I missed so much and have hardly seen no where in the world and would like to see and experience with my own eyes did not know these sort of places exist beautiful all glass train amazing views and scenery yes on the best o this words dream list
2:38 Nice!
love the views of Lauterbrunnen
At 6:53 that was the best view ever!
Switzerland is very beautiful, i would love to reside there permanently.
Your food choices really resonated with me as a vegetarian. Awesome vlog.
Ride during winter and ride Executive class (class above 1st).. it does still run during winter for certain dates..
Hahaha Coool Vlog man ! ENJOYED A Lot !Love From India 🥰🥰
Awesome Video! At 10:54 you wear a Tshirt with the Airport sign on it…totally love it-my i ask were you got it from? Best regards from Austria 🙏🏼
Thanks! It’s from nonstopdan.com/merch ☺️
You two are adorable. I am so keen to meet you somewhere half way and plan a trip. Unless you want to visit Sydney Australia after our lockdown ends?
Excellent video
Thank you!🙌
This is awesome
this has always been a dream!
Amazing :)
Thanks for the info! ^___^
Love Oskar’s Jacket
Thanks😋
Hey guys 🤩, your intro sounds like Harry potter❤️
The journey is best done over 2 - 3 days to see the route properly. The Gl Xp is fine if you want to do the journey in one day and have the significant cash to do so but if you take the local trains that cover the same route you see far more and if it is still available, buy a Swiss rail pass, the journey is free.
Totally agree!
I really do enjoy your travel videos. ❤️ Fan from the British Virgin Islands 🇻🇬
❤️🙏
Much love from rwanda
Did you see the new kits of FC Arsenal? It says "Visit Rwanda" on its shoulders.
My dream place, hope to come someday
Very nice video I come from Switzerland 🇨🇭 ❤
I am planning out a trip for my me and my wife. This is a VERY useful video, as we will now just utilize the regular trains.
Personally, I find the seat reservation system odd. Should be like booking a flight…the ticket covers the fare and the specific seat.
We don't do that here usually. No one makes reservations (at least in 1st class or you'e travelling as a big group)
As long as you're not travelling in the rush hours, you should be able to find seats in second class for two people (and I recommend you to save the cost for first class, because the second class is usually very clean, just a bit louder sometimes. But if you want to travel with more silence, I would recommend the first class, but I warn you, SBB is very expensive, especially first class)
So beautiful. I need to take this train
Love askar he such fun love sense humour.
I love this couple....❤❤🥂😜🌈
I am from India.Thanks for you like the indian main course food dal, chawal and papar.I am happy for this food serving switzerland train 😍😍
Gorgeous 😍
I just wanna say that the ice you ate, is made in my village 🥰
Yay amazing😍
POV: you are the train operator and you can travel this tour every day.
Dhal curry and Rice combination is the best ever
