Itinerary
- Day 1
Arrival in St. Moritz
You'll arrive in St. Moritz by train from the Swiss border or drive in yourself. The town sits in the Engadin valley and has that polished alpine feel to it. After settling into your accommodations, take some time to walk around on your own or head down to the lake for a casual stroll along the shore. It's a nice way to get acclimated before your main journey tomorrow.
Optional Activities
- Explore the town of St. Moritz independently
- Walk along the shores of the lake
Landmarks/POIs St. Moritz Lake - Day 2
St. Moritz to Zermatt via Glacier Express
This is the big travel day. You'll board the Glacier Express early morning, and this train is famous for being slow by design so you actually see everything. From St. Moritz, the route crosses 291 bridges and goes through 196 tunnels over about 8 hours. You'll pass through forests, alpine meadows, and traditional valleys, hitting 2,033 m at Oberalp Pass. The panoramic cars have headphone commentary about what you're seeing. Late afternoon you'll roll into Zermatt, a car-free village right below the Matterhorn.
