Through Snow And Ice: Swiss Alpine Rail Journeys on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E1 – Fall in love with stunning Swiss landscapes on a train journey through snow-covered valleys and towering alpine peaks.
As we embark on a breathtaking rail adventure through Switzerland’s winter wonderland, we’ll collect stories of its people and places in an unforgettable winter trip.
Episode One: The Luxurious Glacier Express
For nearly a century, the Glacier Express has been the pinnacle of luxury rail travel, gliding between the elite ski resorts of St. Moritz and Zermatt. The journey in the lavishly appointed Excellence Class leaves nothing to be desired: whether it’s the impeccable service, the plush comfort, or the spectacular views.
From the monastery town of Disentis, the train, powered by rack-and-pinion, climbs over alpine passes and through snow-draped landscapes, until it reaches the foot of the Matterhorn. Then at the highest point of the journey, a surprising sight awaits: a lighthouse in the midst of the Alps.
