Hi CDJr,
The VIP seats are available for 1st class only, and just for the leg Montreux to Zweisimmen, so be sure to keep that in mind when trying to find a seat. However, I don’t think Rail Europe lets you choose these seats (there are only 8 or so per train). Please check the Golden Pass page and specifically the link under “More on other websites” to contact the railways directly and book the seat.

here is a phone number I just got from RailEurope that will assist US travelers in reserving the VIP seats; once you book a first class reservation on the Zwiesimmen to Montreux Panorama train (leave it at “pending status”), you can call them at 1-800-622-8600 to request the VIP seating from their call center.
