SWITZERLAND: Glacier Express - scenic ride through the Alps [HD]
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
The Glacier Express is a train which connects the two major mountain resorts of St. Moritz and Zermatt in the Swiss Alps. It is not an "express" in the sense of being a high-speed train but rather in the sense that it provides a one-seat ride for a long duration travel. In fact it has the reputation of being the slowest express train in the world. It takes 7,5 hours to journey across 291 bridges, through 91 tunnels and across the Oberalp Pass on the highest point at 2,033 m (6,670 ft) in altitude. The entire line is metre gauge (narrow gauge railway). The Glacier Express is run jointly by two private Swiss railways, the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB) and the Rhätische Bahn (RhB), who also operate the regular local trains and freight trains over the same route. The panorama cars were introduced in 2006. I decided to take this trip after I have seen a scene of the Glacier Express in the IMAX documentary film "The Alps".

瑞士:冰川快車 - 穿越阿爾卑斯山景區乘坐[HD]
上傳日期:2011年11月13日
冰川快車是連接聖莫里茨和採爾馬特的兩大山區度假勝地在瑞士阿爾卑斯山一列火車。
它不是在作為一個高速列車,而是在於它提供了一個座位坐了持續時間長的旅行意義上的意義上的“快車”。事實上,它有成為世界最慢的快車的美譽。
它需要7,5個小時的旅程跨越291座橋樑,91,通過隧道和整個阿爾卑山口就在海拔2033米(6670英尺)的最高點。整條生產線是米軌(窄軌鐵路)。
冰川快車是由兩個瑞士私人鐵路共同經營,馬特聖哥達鐵路(MGB)和Rhätische鐵路(羅丹明B),誰也通過相同的路線經營定期當地的火車和貨運列車。
全景汽車在2006年進行了介紹。
我決定,我已經在IMAX紀錄片“阿爾卑斯山”看到冰川快車的場景後,走這一趟。
