Whether chugging through looping tunnels (which are considered some of the longest in the world), over dizzying viaducts or below rushing ravines, there are plenty of opportunities to snap up some of the most picturesque panoramas in the country. Known affectionately as the slowest express train in the world, its route from Zermatt to St. Moritz covers over 170 miles, crosses almost 300 bridges, passes through 91 tunnels and takes roughly seven and a half hours from start to finish. A masterpiece of technical ingenuity on the inside and beautiful scenery on the outside, here\u2019s a guide to capturing some incredible photos of Switzerland on your Glacier Express journey.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SwitzerlandonTrain_iStock_VogelSP_www.istockphoto.com_photo_winter-view-of-switzerland-on-the-train-gm526290770-92576225.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3566 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SwitzerlandonTrain_iStock_VogelSP_www.istockphoto.com_photo_winter-view-of-switzerland-on-the-train-gm526290770-92576225.jpg\" alt=\"Photos of Switzerland\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SwitzerlandonTrain_iStock_VogelSP_www.istockphoto.com_photo_winter-view-of-switzerland-on-the-train-gm526290770-92576225.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SwitzerlandonTrain_iStock_VogelSP_www.istockphoto.com_photo_winter-view-of-switzerland-on-the-train-gm526290770-92576225-200x167.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SwitzerlandonTrain_iStock_VogelSP_www.istockphoto.com_photo_winter-view-of-switzerland-on-the-train-gm526290770-92576225-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SwitzerlandonTrain_iStock_VogelSP_www.istockphoto.com_photo_winter-view-of-switzerland-on-the-train-gm526290770-92576225-1024x857.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SwitzerlandonTrain_iStock_VogelSP_www.istockphoto.com_photo_winter-view-of-switzerland-on-the-train-gm526290770-92576225-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SwitzerlandonTrain_iStock_VogelSP_www.istockphoto.com_photo_winter-view-of-switzerland-on-the-train-gm526290770-92576225-600x502.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\">Winter view of Switzerland on the train \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/winter-view-of-switzerland-on-the-train-gm526290770-92576225?st=_p_VogelSPwinter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">VogelSP\/iStock<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Mattertal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of the most stunning sites in Switzerland, the Mattertal is fringed by a number of \u2018four-thousanders\u2019 in the mountain department, including the majestic Matterhorn and Weisshorn, as well as even older glaciers.
