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车
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”的名称所欺骗,这趟仅270公里的旅程,却要耗时8个小时。不过因为有窗外的阿尔卑斯山的景色,这样反倒也挺好。
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.
一路上要经过291座架设在峰谷间的桥梁,穿过近100条隧道。还会经过一些奢华到让你无法想象的瑞士疗养胜地。
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.
当列车爬到2033米的海拔时,你能看到著名的马特洪峰以及其他一些海拔超过4000米的山峰。通过灰姑娘式的玻璃顶棚观赏外面美景,能避免你颈部疲劳。
