A superb Swiss Alpine holiday that includes a journey through the spectacular mountain region on board the world famous Glacier Express, probably the slowest “express” train ride in the world. A journey of unchallenged beauty with stunning views that simply cannot be seen from the road. We stay in two beautiful locations, firstly the alpine resort of Davos, Europe's largest mountain resort with a beautiful natural landscape, then on to Zermatt, a delightful resort with stunning views of the world famous Matterhorn. Zermatt is a real delight, enjoy the pure mountain air in this traffic-free environment where only electric powered vehicles are allowed.
