8. Glacier Express
冰川之旅
Switzerland
瑞士
The only 'express' journey you'll wish lasted forever.
唯一一趟你希望一直坐下去的特快列車
Somewhat mis-named given that it takes up to eight hours to travel 270 kilometers, it’s rather convenient that the Glacier Express takes so long, as the Alpine scenery is breathtaking.
不要被“冰河特快”的名稱所欺騙,這趟僅270公里的旅程,卻要耗時8個小時。不過因為有窗外的阿爾卑斯山的景色,這樣反倒也挺好。
Some 291 bridges are slung across gorges and valleys between towering mountains. Throw in almost 100 tunnels and you’ve got a jaw dropping journey between some of Switzerland’s uber luxe health resorts.
一路上要經過291座架設在峰谷間的橋梁,穿過近100條隧道。還會經過一些奢華到讓你無法想象的瑞士療養勝地。
Ascending a heady 2,033 meters above sea level, the peak of the mighty Matterhorn competes with other such mammoth mountains that rise over 4,000 meters. Cinderella-type glass roofed carriages help prevent neck strain from all that landscape ogling.
當列車爬到2033米的海拔時,你能看到著名的馬特洪峰以及其他一些海拔超過4000米的山峰。通過灰姑娘式的玻璃頂棚觀賞外面美景,能避免你頸部疲勞。
