Day 5 - The Glacier Express and Kandersteg
We make our way to Valais, travelling First Class on the iconic
Glacier Express - 'the slowest express train in the world' -
through the craggy landscapes of the Graubünden canton. The entire
journey is accompanied by panoramic views for which Switzerland is
famous; sloping meadows, majestic mountains and dense forests
rising upwards to towering, snow-capped peaks. We travel along the
beautiful Rhine Valley, climbing steadily, then steeply as we
travel over the Oberalp Pass - the highest point of the route -
then descend into the flourishing Rhône Valley, where vineyards
line the hillsides. Arriving in Brig, we travel by local railway to
Kandersteg. This resort town is surrounded by incredible mountain
scenery and is one of Switzerland's unspoilt gems. We stay here for
three nights.
Please Note: For departure 06/05/2023 you will
stay at the Hotel Alfa Soleil in Kandersteg.
