Expert Tip

For the Glacier Express or Rovos Rail, pack layers to handle temperature fluctuations—these scenic routes often traverse both chilly mountain passes and warmer plains. On the Glacier Express, sit on the right side for the best views of the Swiss Alps, and don’t miss the small, family-run cafes near the stations—these serve authentic regional treats you won’t find in tourist hotspots.
