Beautiful train and service - yes, and also the landscape! I was increasingly mesmerized with the tiny details around the seat, like how milimetrically the folding table was designed to achieve maximum size, the different power sockets, individual tablets with an app showing the current location, food presentation, gosh! It's a hefty price, but it seems an excellent money for value ratio, for sure.
@@SilentTraveler1you showed us just how classy and comfortable in terms of design the train interior looks, even down to the train lighting when passing through tunnels ❤❤❤❤
No train journey of this length will ever not be overpriced to me at 800 Euros, but the great thing about the Swiss is that they'll do their darndest to try and change my mind. When transport, hotels or any other service is expensive AND terrible, as it often is in America, I am far more hacked off by that combined problem than the sum of its parts.
Food was nothing special at all In fact, scarce quantities… It’s like you gotta pay extra if you want another little thing of peanuts… Such misery for 800.- Only in Switzerland will you find such cheapness
You've really exhausted the entire package. 😁👍 You tried/showed so many things, i love videos like this. You get an insight into a world that a normal earner never sees. The ride was breathtaking. Thanks for your insight, very good video!
Zermatt for skiing is a top one in the world. During my business trip to Zurich I took 2 days off from corpo and went to Zermatt by train. I reserved a student hostel with a very good price and spent all day skiing in June. I was there with only 2 other skiers. Greetings from Poland.
Thank you for an honest video without narration, music or drama. It could be a memorable journey, like many others, but depending on your point of view, it's either good or not so good. Stunning scenery and fabulous food is good, having to spend time in the company of fellow travellers with irritating habits is not so good. It's always worth considering your point of view before committing. 8:52
Of course. A longer journey is always a risk. What is so special about the 8:52 timestamp? I didn't see anything in particular. Just a guy taking video. These days, that is hardly annoying anymore...
agree on being stuck around inconsiderate people - but at 800$ a head, i'd think that would weed out those people. one thing that i did notice on this trip video was how you could hear everyone talking - if kids get loud or there are older people who are "loud talkers" - that could also be very annoying........you make a good point.
I could barely sit through an hour for Church Mass as a kid. And I know I excelled at it as opposed to all the other kids. Now put a kid on a 7+ hour train trip. I think inconsiderate is not even the right word. Earplugs always recommended when commuting. Especially on this tour.
@@beavis4playдети говорили, что у них болит голова! Дети ещё малы для такого путешествия- им лет 5 и 6, судя по разговору. Вопрос к родителям, нужно ли тащить детей в такие поездки
@@albert8997 To relax and see one of the most beautiful countrysides in the world? Sure. Flying the same distance in the USA between states could easily cost you the same (e.g. First class on Delta from houston texas to LA, California), you would be tied to an airplane seat, crappy food and unable to stretch your legs. Let's not mention what is there to see at 30,000 feet? Not much. Conlusion of the matter: 800 USD for a premium luxury train ride across the Swiss landscape is a no brainer.
@@JuniorShepherd It depends, 800$ might not be as much money in the States as it is in most of Europe, it is certainly a lot in western Europe. I took a similar train from Andermatt standard class, also in the Alps, and it was around 70$. The train was nice and the seats comfortable, same views as the luxury class :D. It depends on each individuals' economical situation. I remember spending over 700$ back in 2015 in just 3 days in food and drinks and I didn't even pay for the accommodation.
If you think orchestrating a meal is impressive, you should try to imagine orchestrating man's first flight to the moon! Or the Normandy invasion to liberate the Europeans who couldn't liberate themselves.
Gee...Next time I watch this video, I'm gonna pour a glass of wine and enjoy the ride right along with you! What a great video! What a great car! What a great meal(s)! What a great view! I take the American Amtrak long distance train journeys every year. NOTHING like this on Amtrak!

TAKE NOTE GLACIER EXPRESS: The majority of people who commented and wish to come on this trip, do not want to have to hear kids loud in the background! I am one of them. What about offering adult-only trip, or car, or both? Excellent video, really well-made. I wished that for that price, in such a luxury context, you wouldn't have to deal with noisy kids and parents who have lost all sense of discipline, boundaries and good manners.
@@robertap8467i agree I did it with my kids twice and u have to take care of them or entertain the kids. If a tourist complaint about it, no one force them to visit Switzerland
Kids are fine when the parents knows what they're doing. I agree this is should be silent car and if kids acting in a bad way they should offer first class..
If ever you travel to North America especially in Canada and in winter, you should take the “Canadian train” travelling from Toronto to Vancouver and stopping throughout the country while watching magnificent views for about 4 days.
I seem to remember that, on the run down from Zermatt in 1987, we had to wait for a few seconds while Private Federer finished loosing off his 10 rounds at the Swiss Army Rifle Range that spanned the valley and tracks! 😱😬 Stunning trip though through the early Spring snow.😉
It’s always a matter of perspective…I spottet a curious and lovely child and a YouTouber who filmed those poor people enjoying their trip in discrete privacy 😉 please don’t film those strangers…it’s very inappropriate as I think…you can still show a lot but no faces 🙏🏻
@@stefanm.1434 From my perspective she enriched the trip with her balanced and lovely child full of curiosity. I would rather travel with 10 of those than sitting next to a person like you 👎🏻 our society needs more masculine men instead of weak nagging Joe Average‘s 😩
I wanted to write something similar, but thought I was being too nitpicky. But no, I came across your comment )))) Yes, I also believe that a trip with such a view, and for such a ticket price, should be in silence and comfort, not with the squeaking of other people's children. I'm sure that cultured parents, of any nationality, would have told their children to keep their voices down. But I also believe that railway workers could do the same.
The most nerve racking experience I've had in mountain ranges was, after hiking for 8 days on the Haute route, from Chamonix to somewhere in Switzerland, I was descending the mountain roads in a small bus. Heart was in my mouth for a big part of the journey looking over the steep edges of those roads. Although the driver obviously knew how to handle the roads, things felt much safer when I was on my own two feet; my fear reactions to looking over the edge of roads was a complete surprise to me. I'd love to take this train ride, but would probably have my eyes shut at this point of the journey 00:35 😆 Anyway, it's an understatement to say that this whole area is 'stunning', really messed with my ideas of what this planet we live on is like.
I’ve skied in Switzerland and love all the villages. Soo much different than here in the US! I love the sound only but it would be nice to know what meals you were having, how long the journey was etc. on the screen or in the additional information text.

I took the Glacier Express the day after riding the Bernina Express to Tirano Italy and back and the Glacier Epxress, while nice because I love all Swiss trains it was disappointing and for a very good reason. The Bernina express spirals through mountainsides in tunnels and has jaw dropping accents and descents still today. However the Glacier Express did at one time earn the title of Glacier Express when it went up and over through an icy wonderland. Since then they improved it with a long tunnel to go through the most impressive peak and while it makes excellent sense transportation wise. As a wonder of Switzerland it is knocked down a few notches. Much like if San Francisco were to replace their cable cars with electric self driving trollies that are better in every way. All the magic and uniqueness of what a Cable Car is thought to be seems gone. To be clear, I would not hesitate to go on the Glacier Express again but anyone travelling to Switzerland for the first time or who need to economize or choose what to do and not to do need to know this so they can make up their own mind. ITs still a great trip.
You mean when it went up the Furka pass? You can still take the steam heritage train over the pass. The Glacier Express is clearly overpriced and takes too long, better to spend the money on shorter but even more amazing train journeys, like from Zermatt to Gornergrat or from Lauterbrunnen to Jungfraujoch.
That is a great idea. And I love steam trains. There is nothing wrong with the Glacier Express it just isn't what I expected and as you mentioned it is expensive. BTW the Jungfrau is also very expensive especially when you get to the top and it is all fogged/clouded with no view. Thats nature and the luck of the draw I guess but something to consider for a person only there for a day and they can see its cloudy. Its like flying to Paris but not leaving the airport. @@wyqtor
@guidedmeditation2396 You couldn't have done this journey during winter times with the former Furka pass rail route owing to the fact that this part of the journey was closed during winter. That's one of the reason why they build the Furka rail tunnel, which also used for car transport
During the summer it is possible to travel with trains hauled by rack-and-pinion steam locomotives along the Furka summit line, along which the GLACIER EXPRESS traveled before the opening of the Furka base tunnel to traffic. The company is called DFB (Dampfbahn Furka Bergstrecke) which is the anagram of the acronym of the company BFD (Brig - Furka - Disentis) which initially managed the railway which was then sold to the FO company (Furka Oberalp)
Are all of the carriages on that train composed of dining cars? I could see the length of the train as well, as there was a considerable number of carraiges both in front of and behind your carriage - at many points, it felt very Christmas-like - I do like what the Swiss do and they do it well, speaking both German, French and Italian as well as English - after all they gave us Swiss Watches, Swiss Chocolate and the Swiss Guards - being Irish in the U.K. myself, I was fascinated by this lovely Swiss train ❤❤❤❤❤
Дело, конечно, не в национальности, дети есть дети. Но мне кажется запретить в каком то вагоне проезд с детьми, - не будет грубым решением, взрослым иногда нужен покой, особенно в таких путешествиях. Стыдно, что родители не учат детей культурным ценностям других стран, когда приезжают. А за съемку, автор, Вам отдельное спасибо, очень красивые пейзажи и виды внутри вагона. 👍🇨🇭❤

Русские воспитанные и высококультурные с рождения, что-то напрягает одевай наушнички - в общественном месте люди могут разговаривать сколько захотят. Русофобская твоя рожа. тьфу
Joli reportage qui donne envie de faire ce trajet. Mais j'ai un peu regretté de ne pas voir plus de paysages...il y avait plus de vues de l'intérieur du train et du repas que des paysages au- dehors...un peu dommage,car cette ligne est magnifique..
We did this precovid with a Swiss Rail first class pass. Total cost for 7 days travel was €300 plus a supplement for Glacier Express of €100 and €120 for Jungfrau. Well worth the cost. Prices per person.
The scenery is beautiful and the train has large windows to take it all in. Shame about all that screechy noise from the tracks though. The design of the car can feel a little bit too open and the other guests feel a bit too close for comfort. It can get noisy in the cabin, especially with kids onboard. A bit more soundproofing and interesting design on the car for ex plants or curtains would go a long way.
Это шикарная поездка, кадры просто изумительные! 😍 Мне всегда любопытно, как люди живут. В Швейцарии невероятно красивые места, вид реки и проезда по мосту, перед тем как въехать в туннель, просто завораживают! По возможности, я обязательно воспользуюсь этим экспрессом. Спасибо за съемку! 😊 Только мне кажется, что слишком много алкогольных напитков подают! 😁🍷🥴
Una cosa non capisco: a parte i treni super veloci che sono in concorrenz agli aerei, ma almeno gli altri perché non hanno tutti quei finestroni panoramici come i treni Svizzeri ???
En Belgique, il y a une brasserie sur la digue un espace interdit aux enfants de moins de 12 ans afin de laisser sa clientèle manger sereinement. Le restaurateur a assumé son choix avec vigueur et avançait même à la télévision locale que les enfants ne se comportent pas aussi bien que par le passé, qu’ils ne respectent ni le matériel, ni les tables avoisinantes. Une décision qui a largement fait réagir, mais qui s'avère être un succès pour ce restaurateur, qui n'a jamais regretté sa décision.
Hope someday when the rail system in Europe becomes so interconnected that we can see this type of service all over the continent for far travel, like train hotel-restaurant. Imagine this on a Christmas trip in Europe.
Hello, very nice mountain landscapes, I have a question about the ticket price for 1 person or 2 and whether meals are additionally paid. Best regards, Gregor from Poland😊
Now THIS is how you travel by train! Super lux and the food and drinks look fabulous. Well worth the price. Only things I would change is this compartment should be adults only (no loud kids to ruin the amazing journey), and the wine selection appears to be Swiss. No offence but would much rather have French wines to choose from than crappy Blau and Spatburgunders (although I did see a Laurent-Perrier Champagne). For $800 one would expect a more curated wine list. Food looks amazing.
Due to the damage to the railroad system in the Mattertal valley, the continuous line between Visp and Täsch below Zermatt remains closed until at least August 25. All Glacier Express trains will run exclusively between St. Moritz and Brig until the line is opened. On the route between St. Moritz and Brig the normal services are available and the departure and arrival times for all stops will remain as per the timetable. For Glacier Express travelers from/to Zermatt, an appropriate alternative transport service is in operation in an extra train from Zermatt to Täsch and separate buses between Täsch and Brig. Guests affected will be informed directly by Railservice Glacier Express as soon as possible. For departures from Zermatt, we recommend that you arrive at Zermatt station half an hour before the regular departure time. Our staff will then meet you there. Optionally, you can also board the train directly in Brig. Please refer to the timetable for departure times. If you have already booked for the time in question and decide not to take the Glacier Express journey as planned please contact our customer service directly.

I was increasingly mesmerized with the tiny details around the seat, like how milimetrically the folding table was designed to achieve maximum size, the different power sockets, individual tablets with an app showing the current location, food presentation, gosh!

I could see the length of the train as well, as there was a considerable number of carraiges both in front of and behind your carriage - at many points, it felt very Christmas-like - I do like what the Swiss do and they do it well, speaking both German, French and Italian as well as English - after all they gave us Swiss Watches, Swiss Chocolate and the Swiss Guards - being Irish in the U.K. myself, I was fascinated by this lovely Swiss train ❤❤❤❤❤
Дело, конечно, не в национальности, дети есть дети. Но мне кажется запретить в каком то вагоне проезд с детьми, - не будет грубым решением, взрослым иногда нужен покой, особенно в таких путешествиях. Стыдно, что родители не учат детей культурным ценностям других стран, когда приезжают.
А за съемку, автор, Вам отдельное спасибо, очень красивые пейзажи и виды внутри вагона. 👍🇨🇭❤
Spaciba
не булькай черт. такие вещи пиши когда арабы и муслимы своих личинок будут таскать, а ты на Русских своё поддувало открыл. Русские воспитанные и высококультурные с рождения, что-то напрягает одевай наушнички - в общественном месте люди могут разговаривать сколько захотят. Русофобская твоя рожа. тьфу
Рашка везде рашка
стыдно, что некоторые взрослые относятся к детям, как к зверушкам, которых нужно запереть в клетку.
Это ты еще английских детей не видел ))))
Thank you for this video. Such lovely scenery.
Joli reportage qui donne envie de faire ce trajet.
Mais j'ai un peu regretté de ne pas voir plus de paysages...il y avait plus de vues de l'intérieur du train et du repas que des paysages au- dehors...un peu dommage,car cette ligne est magnifique..
We did this precovid with a Swiss Rail first class pass. Total cost for 7 days travel was €300 plus a supplement for Glacier Express of €100 and €120 for Jungfrau. Well worth the cost. Prices per person.
Amazing views!! May I know when was this shot? We are still deciding when to visit and take this train ☺️☺️
early Feb
@@SilentTraveler1 Thank you! 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
Just traveled that line last summer… loved it!
First class video. Liked 👍
The view is beautiful
Thank you for this great video 👍✨❤️
The scenery is beautiful and the train has large windows to take it all in. Shame about all that screechy noise from the tracks though.
The design of the car can feel a little bit too open and the other guests feel a bit too close for comfort. It can get noisy in the cabin, especially with kids onboard.
A bit more soundproofing and interesting design on the car for ex plants or curtains would go a long way.
Waaoo I LOVE WONDERFUL SWITZERLAND , AND I LOVE ZERMATT, AND ST MORITZ AND MATTERHORN AND I LOVE ST FRANCHESCO EVERYMINUTE AMEN 💐💝🫂😎🙋🫂💝🍀🍀🍀🍀💐💐💐
Ехать в таком поезде с грандиозными видами это одно удовольствие. Спасибо за съёмку.
И всегда шумные семьи с детьми
хватит яд пускать анаконда@@MaDi11087
Breathtaking Scenery!
Это шикарная поездка, кадры просто изумительные! 😍
Мне всегда любопытно, как люди живут. В Швейцарии невероятно красивые места, вид реки и проезда по мосту, перед тем как въехать в туннель, просто завораживают! По возможности, я обязательно воспользуюсь этим экспрессом. Спасибо за съемку! 😊
Только мне кажется, что слишком много алкогольных напитков подают! 😁🍷🥴
Кто не пожелает бокал вина, тому не подают. А вот громко разговаривающих соседей не унять, слышно, откуда они...😁
SLAVA UKRAINE!

Maan, that's a classy and nice journey. 🙃🙂
Una cosa non capisco: a parte i treni super veloci che sono in concorrenz agli aerei, ma almeno gli altri perché non hanno tutti quei finestroni panoramici come i treni Svizzeri ???
Hai ragione. In tanti tratti in Italia, il paesaggio è tale che sarebbe giustificato.
En Belgique, il y a une brasserie sur la digue un espace interdit aux enfants de moins de 12 ans afin de laisser sa clientèle manger sereinement. Le restaurateur a assumé son choix avec vigueur et avançait même à la télévision locale que les enfants ne se comportent pas aussi bien que par le passé, qu’ils ne respectent ni le matériel, ni les tables avoisinantes. Une décision qui a largement fait réagir, mais qui s'avère être un succès pour ce restaurateur, qui n'a jamais regretté sa décision.
언어가 통하지 않아도 안전하고
즐거운 여행으로 가보고 싶습니다..
매우 아름답네요..
Hope someday when the rail system in Europe becomes so interconnected that we can see this type of service all over the continent for far travel, like train hotel-restaurant.
Imagine this on a Christmas trip in Europe.
J adore la Suisse en train 😁😁😄
Hello, very nice mountain landscapes, I have a question about the ticket price for 1 person or 2 and whether meals are additionally paid. Best regards, Gregor from Poland😊
Everything included
All the conditions for an unforgettable trip!
Except for the noisy kiddos
We all need to work together to protect this beautiful environment
Awesome! Video well done, Thank you so much! 🤩
How long the journey take for?
Now THIS is how you travel by train! Super lux and the food and drinks look fabulous. Well worth the price. Only things I would change is this compartment should be adults only (no loud kids to ruin the amazing journey), and the wine selection appears to be Swiss. No offence but would much rather have French wines to choose from than crappy Blau and Spatburgunders (although I did see a Laurent-Perrier Champagne). For $800 one would expect a more curated wine list. Food looks amazing.
For $800, parents with small children should have their own car.
Unbelievable! I would have certainly complained
@@stayfocused1041Most definitely. And I say that as a parent myself. No one wants to hear your children.
@@Anna-zg7lpRacist
especially russians
As i know for children under 6y.o. is free, above 50% discount
I’d be struggling to find my room after all that wine 😂
You maybe be the Silent Traveler, but the children were certainly not silent. They should have a separate coach for people who have children!
you are a deeply miserable individual. The kids were no more "noisy" than regular adults.
They should stay home ..
They could always put them in the baggage car.. 🙂🙂🙂
They seemed to be tourists...
He's silent. Other can talk.
Due to the damage to the railroad system in the Mattertal valley, the continuous line between Visp and Täsch below Zermatt remains closed until at least August 25. All Glacier Express trains will run exclusively between St. Moritz and Brig until the line is opened. On the route between St. Moritz and Brig the normal services are available and the departure and arrival times for all stops will remain as per the timetable.
For Glacier Express travelers from/to Zermatt, an appropriate alternative transport service is in operation in an extra train from Zermatt to Täsch and separate buses between Täsch and Brig. Guests affected will be informed directly by Railservice Glacier Express as soon as possible.
For departures from Zermatt, we recommend that you arrive at Zermatt station half an hour before the regular departure time. Our staff will then meet you there. Optionally, you can also board the train directly in Brig. Please refer to the timetable for departure times.
If you have already booked for the time in question and decide not to take the Glacier Express journey as planned please contact our customer service directly.
Stunning.
Maybe a stupid question. But how is the climate onboard the train. Do you need a warm sweater or not ? Thx for the info.
You don't need a warm sweater, it's perfect onboard like in your house
Should have a separate car for families. Something for them to do on a long ride.
It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks
Loved your video....such a beautiful journey...
Great video…. Too bad I couldn’t finished watching as the kids are “scratching my nerves” …
I agree. I would have been thinking in my head "shut the he'll up"
Для пассажиров с детьми нужен отдельный вагон
@@rollingreclinerRecumbent Same here. Others here are a little too Booshie to say that:)
Wowww awesome amezing view in the train 👍👍👍👌👌👍👍
Being an Indian and knowing that this can't be possible in India hurts me. Well, Switz more power to you.
Well, India has a lot of problems and yet it wants to be the global main economic player with more pollution and ruined infrastructure to show for.
It is perhaps your mindset that you don´t take criticism well.
@@Siranoxz Constructive criticism is accepted but stereotypes and misinformation won't be tolerated. India is no where close to Japan or Germany but it definitely not a country which western media and influencers portrays. India is quite complex to understand.
beautiful scenery, although they'd have to carry me out of the train from all the drinks i'd have
В декабре 2009 года мы путешествовали на этом поезде во втором классе. Там тоже панорамные окна, комфортные сидения, отличная еда. Вагоны полпустые, гуляй и садись где хочешь, тишина, идилия, романтика.
Тишина? Где? Уже в этом видео слышно, что дети орут. Вот не повезло людям, купили билеты в exellente ....
@Svetlana-xx3gc не поверите, но в 2009 была другая ситуация, да и русская речь была слышна очень редко.
@@arinastuder и не верю! Тогда я ещё работала в департаменте финансов в Женеве, то есть в старом городе и когда выходила на обед была слышна русская речь в таком количестве, что казалось, что я вообще в России.
А сейчас в каждом виде транспорта и из разных его концов, дай бог на матерную речь не нарваться... Светлана, светлого вам Рождества!
@@Svetlana-xx3gcне забывай кто ты и откуда 😂
So is the Glacier Express considered the luxury option to the Bernina Express?
Tip: As swiss resident - buy a half pass.
The kids aren’t the problem is the entitled parents without boundaries.
Dreams Come True.
Is eating on the Glacier Express train included in the price of the ticket? or we have to pay again?
Included
Билет за 800$ и с первых секунд русский голос детей 😁👍🏼
В чем дети виноваты, им что заклеить рот скотчем. Королевскую семью Великобритании видели, где младший сын Уильяма и Кэтрин ведёт себя очень шумно и никто не возмущается
@ так это наоборот хорошо, я рад за своих земляков что могут позволить себе так путешествовать с семьей
@@Галина-ф5с Я живу в Швейцарии более 25 лет и вспоминаю советское детство, когда дети не лезли с обувью на сидения, не бегали, не орали, не скакали как дурные в транспорте... А почему? А потому, что в советское время каждый взрослый имел право сделать замечание любому ребенку. А здесь в этом дермосратическом обществе это запрещено.

The children are only a small amount of the sounds I hear, quite amazing how many sounds there are.
Yeah, you loved the soft little voices of the children, didn't you....
Их не много, они просто невоспитанные и наглые
Imagine paying that much to have some “influencer” recording you
Man did not miss a single drink.😂😂😂😂😂😂
охренеть красотища! я б прокатился на таком!
Сиди в стойле рашист, а то в чёрном пакете поедешь
Роза Хутор в Сочи выглядит примерно также. Садишься в 🚆 поезд "Ласточку" и все окрестности твои, за небольшие абсолютно деньги ❤
Hearing the kids in the background was annoying, and yes, I love kids. They should be in a different car for those prices.
I'm fully agree with you.
First thing I thought, and I hate other people’s kids
Those are Russian kids they are annoying just like their parents
I had to turn the video off because of it.
@@jilumiahкак вы жить собираетесь если ненавидите детей
I can’t believe that the train doesn’t have quite carriages!!!
Поездка- мечта! Были в тех местах, но на этом поезде не прокатились. На фоне русская речь, дети россияне)
Да, я тоже заметила.
@@Linna-ck1jtи не умеет себя вести, на болотах этому не учат :(
