What to Pack

Pack comfortably for the Glacier Express journey. Light layers work well for the varying temperatures, and be sure to bring warm clothing if you're traveling in the cooler months. Don’t forget your camera for capturing the stunning landscapes, as well as essentials like chargers and personal items.

Currency

Switzerland uses Swiss Francs (CHF) as its official currency. While major credit cards are widely accepted, it’s a good idea to have some local currency on hand for smaller purchases or stops at remote towns along the route.

Climate

Switzerland’s climate varies depending on the altitude. While it can be sunny and mild at lower altitudes, the temperature drops significantly as you climb higher into the mountains. Pack accordingly, especially if you're traveling in winter or early spring when snow can be common on the higher routes.

Food and Dining

Dining aboard the Glacier Express is a highlight, with gourmet meals featuring Swiss specialties made from fresh, local ingredients. If you have dietary restrictions or preferences, make sure to notify the staff in advance, and they will accommodate your needs.

Tipping

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory. A 10-15% tip is a common practice for exceptional service. You can offer the tip to your train manager or staff at the dining car.

Souvenirs

Don’t forget to pick up a souvenir to remember your Glacier Express experience. From Swiss chocolates to branded merchandise, there are several options available at the train’s gift shop or from local shops during stops along the way.
