Video Description

In this video you can enjoy the cab ride - train driver's view from Brig to Zermatt, the grand finale of the famous Glacier Express in the resolution of 4K/60 frames per second. Join us for the concluding segment of our Glacier Express cab ride series, filmed in April 2025, as we journey from Brig to the iconic mountain resort of Zermatt. This final stretch offers a mesmerising ascent through the Mattertal valley, culminating beneath the majestic Matterhorn. 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 Brig, situated at 678 meters above sea level, the train embarks on the Brig–Zermatt railway line, a 44-kilometer metre-gauge route operated by the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB). The line traverses the Rhône Valley, passing through charming villages such as Visp, St. Niklaus, and Täsch, each offering glimpses into the region's rich cultural tapestry. As the train ascends, passengers are treated to panoramic views of alpine meadows, dense forests, and rugged peaks. The route features a series of engineering marvels, including numerous tunnels and bridges that navigate the challenging mountainous terrain. Notably, the line employs the Abt rack-and-pinion system on steeper gradients, ensuring a smooth and safe ascent. Approaching Zermatt, at 1,604 meters above sea level, the train enters a car-free zone, preserving the village's pristine environment and offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding peaks. Zermatt serves as a gateway to the Matterhorn and is renowned for its alpine charm and outdoor adventures. This final stretch of the Glacier Express not only showcases the harmonious blend of natural beauty and railway engineering but also encapsulates the essence of Swiss alpine travel.
