Mighty Trains

Glacier Express (1x1)

Data emisji: Paź 16, 2016

The Glacier Express climbs almost 5 kilometers during its daily eight hour journey on a route that challenges locomotives to their max, and yet is so beautifully engineered the railway has been declared an UNESCO Heritage Site – one of only three railroads in the world with that honour. Running between Zermatt, at the foot of the famous Matterhorn, and the ski town of St Moritz, the Glacier Express travels across the mighty Swiss Alps as it runs from one side of the country to the other. 250,000 people a year take this train, which has been running this route since 1930, yet parts of the rail line have been in operation for more than 125 years
