2. The Glacier Express is one of Switzerland’s most famous scenic rail journeys, known for its panoramic views and relaxed pace through the heart of the Alps. Between Brig and Chur, the train climbs from the Rhône Valley to the high Alpine landscapes of the Oberalp Pass, the highest point of the route at 2,033 meters. Along the way, passengers enjoy views of traditional mountain villages, forests, and wide alpine valleys. One of the highlights is the Rhine Gorge, often called the “Swiss Grand Canyon,” where the river has carved dramatic cliffs through the landscape. The journey also showcases impressive engineering, including spiral tunnels and the iconic Landwasser Viaduct, making it a perfect combination of nature and technical achievement.

3. The LAAX mountain region offers easy access to spectacular high-Alpine scenery above the villages of Flims and Laax. Modern cable cars carry visitors quickly to panoramic viewpoints such as Crap Sogn Gion at 2,228 meters, where wide views open across the surrounding peaks and valleys of the Graubünden Alps. The landscape here reflects classic mountain terrain shaped by glaciers, with open slopes, rocky ridges, and distant snow-covered summits. Higher lifts reach the Vorab Glacier, where snow and ice remain even in warmer seasons. Panoramic terraces, short walking paths, and mountain restaurants allow visitors to enjoy the fresh air and scenery comfortably, offering a memorable high-altitude experience without strenuous hiking.

About Zurigo

Zurigo, la più grande città svizzera, sorge all'estremità di un lago limpido con vista sulle Alpi, un centro medievale e il cabaret dove nacque il Dada.

La Città Vecchia si estende su entrambe le rive del fiume Limmat, con vicoli stretti, case delle corporazioni e guglie di chiese. Le torri gemelle del Grossmünster sono il simbolo della città, il Fraumünster ha vetrate di Chagall, e la chiesa di San Pietro ha uno dei più grandi quadranti d'orologio d'Europa. La collina del Lindenhof offre una vista tranquilla sui tetti.
