Winter is coming. No seriously, it’ll be here before we know it. And luckily (for those of you who got that previous reference), it’s not bringing death and doom with it, but rather white wonderlands in some of our favorite ski destinations.
To ring in the new season, the Carlton Hotel St. Moritz is partnering with the Hotel Mont Cervin Palace in Zermatt to offer a new Glacier Express experience. Considered one of the most famous train rides in the world, the 7.5 hour journey from St. Moritz to Zermatt passes across 291 bridges, travels through 91 tunnels and offers panoramic views of alpine scenery.
Guests who book the Glacier Express experience will spend two nights at the Carlton Hotel St. Moritz and then will make their way to Zermatt via the train to spend two more nights at Hotel Mont Cervin Palace. A world-renowned ski resort, the Carlton offers 60 suites viewing out onto Lake St. Moritz and Upper Engadin.
