The Glacier Express

The Glacier Express train winds its way up to Zermatt. The train ride is very scenic. For a long time, the train was the only way to get to Zermatt. Recently a road was built for emergency and commercial vehicles, but it is not open to the public. The closer we got to Zermatt, the more dramatic the scenery got. Looking up the side of the valley wall you could see the toe of this glacier from the train.
