Growing excitement! Today I'm making use of my Berlin colleagues goodbye gift and taking the #GlacierExpress to #SanktMoritz!
Not my train. Still nice. #MGB #matterhorngotthardbahn

#Goms ! DYK the founder of the #Ritz hotel is from the area. So the audioguide told me.

#GlacierExpress

Approaching #Oberwald. Crossing an RE going downhill. Car shuttle through #Furka leaves before us.

Investigated the bathroom while in the #Furka Tunnel. Nice sink 😅

It's a loooong tunnel.

Steep climb after Andermatt towards #Nätschen. Very impressive.

#GlacierExpress

It's just white now.

#GlacierExpress

Wow. Approaching the #Oberalppass, the highest point of the journey at over 2000m. With Hühnerfrikassee.

@diningcar Dessert is served in #Sedrun. The #Gotthard base tunnel runs below us.

#Disentis/Mustér - Rumantsch is the dominant language here, spoken by 75% of the local population. Interestingly, Portuguese immigration, mostly working in tourism, help to keep the language alive, as it's easier for them to learn than (Swiss) German.

#GlacierExpress gets another locomotive.

Slowly going downhill through #Grisons #Graubünden towards #Chur.

Never sure about how to pronounce the names of places in this area 😅

#GlacierExpress

Learned about the #Valser identity while passing #Ilanz. #GlacierExpress

#Rheinschlucht - the Rhine gorges, swiss grand canyon 😉 (says the audio guide)

#GlacierExpress

Approaching #Chur, third rail to share track with #SBB.

#GlacierExpress

#Chur, capital of #Graubünden #Grisons. Many people getting off. We're making a U turn back to #Reichenau-Tamins before diverging to St. Moritz.

@Moritz_Kleine Did you mention the 4th national language in Switzerland?
