The slowest express train in the world takes 8 hours to travel 291 km (182miles) from St Moritz to Zermatt
It begins by retracing our route to Chur, where we stop to turn the train around...
Some of these pix were taken on the regional train which follows the Glacier Express route.
The Glacier Express does have panoramic windows...but none open,
making photography liable to pick up on unwanted reflections
