Please help.

I'm trying to book Glacier express from andermatt to chur on 30 Dec but the website says there is no connection on this day. However I can see it on the timetable. Can someone please help. I have a eurail global passĀ

It seems like they don't allow Andermatt - Chur passengers: you would block seats for people doing the full Zermatt - St. Moritz journey.

Looking at leaving Zermatt or Brig the first train has 10+ seats left, second departure only 4. Most tour groups book the train months ahead.

However it's not an issue: use the hourly reservation-free regional trains along the same route. You'll save money, have more space and could even open windows on the second train!

The short connection in Disentis is guaranteed, don't worry about that.
