My partner and I are wanting to go on the Glacier Express from Zermatt to St Moritz. How do we reserve seats for this? On the website it only shows full price even when I put the Eurrail/Intereail Pass in the drop down box. Any advice welcome please 🙏🏻

Here you hopefully have the information you need and you can also make the seat reservation here.

My tip though is to use the regional trains that do not require a reservation. Then you can just exit the train on a station with a nice view and wait for the next regional train while you enjoy the scenery and a nice picknick.

The NORMal trains-ev 1 or 2 hrs do not need REServ-same view/same rails as the touristy look-out special wagons aimed at USAers who fear 2nd cl and have too much money. 

IF belong to this-or simply like this and want-then easiest is to do at any Swiss station counter a few days before. You have to use trains in any case to reach that currently so populair overpriced village with no cars high up in the mountains

Where did you try to make the reservation?

When are you planning to travel?
