Seating onboard the Glacier Express are bays of 4 seats around a table which if you are travelling alone is a good chance to meet fellow travellers and make new friends. All you need to do is sit back, relax and take in the spectacular views en route such as dense forests, snow capped mountains and century old villages.

You have the choice of having lunch in the dining car or served to you directly at your seat, enjoying the local delicacies served by the friendly and experienced staff. If you are on a budget then you can also take onboard your own food and enjoy an uninterrupted journey making sure you don't miss any of the beautiful views on the way.
