Our Family Adventure On The Glacier Express

After 10 days on the boat our fam­ily took off for our ‘Great Train Adventure’. The plan was to travel on the Glacier Express through Switzerland.
We were thrilled to have my par­ents join us for this adven­ture on the rails.

On day one we trav­eled on five trains start­ing with a train from the boat to Paris. The TGV train from Paris to Geneva was a 3 hour ride at speeds up to 180 miles an hour.
The train itself had so much room and com­fort­able seat­ing. How civilized…who needs planes?

From Geneva, Switzerland we took a local train along­side Lake Geneva to pick up the Glacier Express train into the hills of Zermatt.
We hung out the train win­dow for our first sight of the snow capped Matterhorn, the high­est peak in Europe.
Cows with huge bells hang­ing from their neck, glac­i­ers and quaint log cab­ins with slate roofs pro­vided an amaz­ing view.
