Join us for the fourth section of our Glacier Express cab ride series, filmed in April 2025, as we journey from Andermatt to Brig. This segment showcases the engineering marvels of the Swiss Alps, transitioning from the high-altitude landscapes of Uri to the sun-kissed Rhône Valley in Valais.

The Glacier Express, often referred to as the “slowest express train in the world,” is a legendary direct service connecting the mountain resorts of Zermatt and St. Moritz in an eight-hour panoramic journey through the heart of the Swiss Alps. Operated jointly by the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) and Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB), the GEX runs entirely on a meter-gauge network renowned for its engineering marvels and stunning landscapes.

Departing from Andermatt, situated at 1,435 meters above sea level, the train embarks on the Furka Oberalp line, operated by the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB). This route features the renowned Furka Base Tunnel, a 15.34-kilometer passage that allows year-round travel by bypassing the snow-prone Furka Pass. The tunnel, completed in 1982, descends to Realp and then continues through the Goms region, characterised by its picturesque villages and alpine meadows.
Brig, located at 678 meters above sea level, serves as a key junction in the Swiss rail network, connecting the Glacier Express to destinations such as Zermatt and Geneva.

Throughout this approximately 90-minute journey, the Glacier Express navigates a series of tunnels and bridges, including the 176-meter-long Rhône bridge east of Brig, highlighting the remarkable engineering feats accomplished over a century ago.

Note to Viewers:
I would like to inform our viewers that, for safety and security reasons, the passage through the Furka Base Tunnel is not included in this video. Additionally, due to an unexpected technical issue, the recording ends shortly before Bitsch station, just a few minutes before reaching Brig. I sincerely apologize for the interruption and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for joining us on this breathtaking journey through the Swiss Alps.
