The Glacier Express is known as the slowest express train in the world and connects the alpine towns of Zermatt and St. Moritz in Switzerland. The train takes passengers through 91 tunnels and across 291 bridges, from Zermatt with views of the Matterhorn, through dramatic gorges and across the famous Landwasser Viaduct, up to the Oberalp Pass at 2,033 metres.
