GLACIER EXPRESS & INTERLAKEN - Day 9 - september 27, 2022

We got up very early this morning to catch the Glacier Express from St. Moritz to Andermatt. The Glacier Express is billed as the “Slowest Express Train in the World”. We had an excellent 5 hour ride with morning coffee and a multi course lunch. The scenery was absolutely spectacular. Switzerland is a beautiful country - everywhere you look. I particularly enjoyed small towns that are filled with the typical Swiss Chalet type houses.

We made our way from Andermatt to Interlaken, which is a beautiful town in a valley between two lakes. We are going to stay the next two nights at the Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel, another spectacular place. We had a little bit of down time before taking the funicular up to the top of Harder Klum. The funicular has a 64% grade and takes you to a restaurant and viewing platform. Amazing views of the Interlaken region!
