In the panoramic coach of the Glacier- and Bernina Express you travel across impressive viaducts, through winding and helical tunnels, past raging mountain torrents, glaciers and glittering snow covered landscapes. The panorama cars offer uninhibited views of Alpine passes and mountain lakes, steep cliffs and pristine forests. You will enjoy the sight of deep ravines formed by water that exhibit bizarre rock formations, and you will traverse gently sloping plains and characteristic mountain villages.
