- This is the official channel of the TV show Swiss Railway Journeys, run in association with MITV, the production company that created the show. The following episode represents original content made and copyrighted by MITV, and its content is in no way repurposed.
Join us on the world-famous Glacier Express for the journey of a lifetime along the backbone of the Swiss Alps. We travel with the Brig-Visp-Zermatt, Furka-Oberalp and Rhaetian Railway companies from Zermatt to St. Moritz.
Our journey begins at Zermatt, the mountain resort dominated by the distinctive peak of the Matterhorn. We admire the spectacular panoramic views from the top of the Gornergrat before joining the train for the ride along the scenic BVZ line to the Rhone valley. At Brig we take the opportunity to visit the Stockalper palace, before journeying along the spectacular FO line through the lush countryside of the Goms region. We break our journey to visit the magnificent Aletsch Glacier, and the picturesque village of Ernen.
Further along the route we poss through the Furka Tunnel to emerge into the wild Urseren valley. At Andermatt we make a diversion along the formidable Schöllenen Gorge before rejoining the train for a fabulous winter run through deep snow as the track snakes up the mountainside. We continue our summer expedition at the Oberalp pass, the summit of the line.

My dad and I used to watch this amazing programme together when I was little when it was on TV. A few years ago, we used your programme to plan our own Swiss Railway Journey. Since then, we have visited Switzerland several times, aiming to complete more of the routes shown in this programme. Thank you so much for uploading the episodes - it’s mine and my dad’s comfort programme!
A series of very interesting programs. In Poland, they were broadcast on the Travel channel in the 90s. Years later, I come back to them with great pleasure. The constructors and builders of the railway network in Switzerland have created a communication mechanism reminiscent of the equally famous Swiss watches. In addition, it fits well with beautiful landscapes. I hope that someday I will be able to visit beautiful Switzerland and make a journey with at least one of the viewed trains. Greetings from Poland :)
Me and my dad used too love watching this series
I have these videos on VHS but no VHS player. It's great these are now available on UA-cam.
Love this show it reminds me when we visited Switzerland one of the most beutifull country in the world.
Thank you so much for adding these. I've been looking for a long time for these in digital. One of my favorite series.
You are very welcome :)
The BVZ and FO railways are now the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn today since merging in 2003 .
Beautiful views from the air.
Lovely video as always.

17:15 That's not true, the spiral tunnel of gletsch on the furka pass is also rack assisted
Thank you for your comment. That may be true now, but between years 1982 and 2000 (and at the time of recording this episode) the Furka summit railway pass wasn't being used.
Do you have part 3 of glacier Express?
Hi, I'm sorry but Glacier Express is a two-part episode. There is no part 3.
Sorry Pininfarina was not involved with lamborghini. Bertone and more his chief designer Ghandini modelled the Lambo's.
