The Glacier Express uses modern
panoramic coaches specially built for the
service in 2006. This train is a real pleasure
to travel on, clean, comfortable, carpeted
and air-conditioned, its most distinctive
features are the huge panoramic side
windows and glass skylights as well, so you
don't miss any of the scenery! In 2nd class,
seats are arranged in bays of 4 around a
table on each side of the aisle, in 1st class
cars there are bays of 4 seats around a
table on one side of the aisle and bays of 2
seats across a table on the other. Apart
from more space and less passengers per
coach, seats are very similar and there is
little to choose from between 1st and 2nd
class as both are excellent. There is a food
service car, but staff come down the traiท
taking orders for drinks, snacks and lunch.
You can pre-book a complete meal, which is
served at your seat on real china with
proper cutlery and tablecloth, with a choice
of starters, main courses and desserts,
accompanied by a wide selection of wines.
