From the beginning, you’re dropped right into a snowglobe fairytaleas both the St Moritz and Zermatt train stations are incredibly scenic. Along the eight-hour journey, you’ll spot Matterhorn, Oberalp Pass, and the Landwasser Viaduct. While the views are beautiful from the existing second and first class seats, the operator is adding a whole new class for some added luxury: Excellence Class.
