We were at the Oberalp Pass, literally the high point of the Glacier Express’s seven-and-a-half-hour journey between St Moritz and Zermatt. We were passing between a range of 6,600ft mountains before our descent towards Brig.
In all directions the carriage’s giant observation windows revealed amazing vistas: to our left we gazed down lush green valleys, above us were steepling cliffs and – further off – loomed muesli-box views of mountain peaks dusted with snow and topped with wispy cotton-wool clouds.
