Glacier Express by Robert Bosch

No train in Switzerland is so internationally well-known as the Glacier Express, which goes through the magnificent high mountain landscape of the Alps between Valais and the Engadine. On 25th June 1930 it travelled for the first time directly from Zermatt to St Moritz - and ever since it has connected countless attractions in Switzerland. Every year more than 250,000 travellers are thrilled by the luxurious journey in the panorama car and the display of nature at its most fascinating. This is a seven and a half hour railway experience over 291 bridges, through 91 tunnels, in narrow gorges and over the 2033m high Oberalp Pass. Internationally renowned photographer Robert Bosch allows the reader to experience the journey, renowned journalist Iso Camartin also provides a fascinating commentary and the railway historian Paul Caminada describes points of interest on the route, relating the eventful history of the line's construction.
