The Glacier Express makes a spectacular journey through these Alps from St. Moritz to Zermatt, taking nine wonderful hours.
Other well-known trains of the Bernina and Palm Express routes push past little farming towns below mountainside cattle pastures into Italy. The Rhaetian Railroad provides other narrow-gauge local services, always with a mountain or two in view.
Such a combination provides perhaps the easiest, most frequent, comfortable concentration of great rail journeys anywhere.
