"The slowest train in the world"

You might imagine that, being a Brazilian, my entire body shivers just to imagine the snow that is to come during winter... Brrrr!!! And you can deduce that I'd be the latest person on Earth to organize a trip to the Alps, in the middle of the snow!

Well, you're wrong: this winter I'm truly motivated to take the so-called "slowest train in the world" (The Glacier Express, by the way) and amaze myself with the outrageous panorama. And don't worry, I'll be comfortably sit inside the train, where is warm enough!

In fact, here are some informations about the two circuits proposed by the Rhätische Bahn:

The Glacier Express: Goes from Zermatt to St. Moritz and vice versa."Pass at 2’033 metres in altitude. A panoramic trip through the Alps in the heart of Switzerland.he Glacier Express travels a beautiful route between the sights of the Graubünden holiday region, the sunny Valais region with its glacier landscape, and the beautiful regions of the South." Don't you feel tempted????






The Bernina Express: "The greatest alpine delight in Graubünden: There is twice as much to see as before along one of the most beautiful railway routes in the world - on board the Rhaetian Railway panorama coach. The journey begins in Chur, continues along the Albula route into the Engadine and keeps on going - without cogwheels - over the Bernina Pass down to southerly Valposchiavo, over the spiralling viaduct at Brusio and on to Tirano."


Aren't they cool, these small red trains?
