#3 The "Glacier Express" - express in only in the name. It is a beautiful train going from Zermatt to St-Moritz in about 8hrs. If you are lucky with the weather, sceneries are just magnificent from one end to the other...

These are gorgeous. I'd love to be there (dressed appropriately, of course).

Beautiful scenery, well captured.

Thank you Chief. Glad you liked them. It wasn't even very cold...

Lovely scenery and great shots, they've obviously got the "right" kind of snow over there which doesn't bring the system to a grinding halt like over here.

Nice capture of a beautiful setting. I too would love to go there some day. It sure is great to be able to see so much of this world through the shutters of our fellow POTNers.

The snow causes sometimes problems. But on that kind of track, they obviously have to be used to it...

Hey, the conversion is good for me. I'll soon be able to buy everything I want at B&H :p

Those are neat Didier...I think a ride in the snow on the "Express" would be a treat.
