    Hi!

    Is it possible to board Glacier Express from Visp to Zermatt? The route doesn’t mention a halt at Visp…

    Also, what is the seat reservation cost on Glacier Express with Swiss Travel Pass?

    Thanks in advance…

    No. Regular trains service that route. The scenery is just the same. You can board the Glacier Express at Brig but it wouldn’t be worth the reservation price for that short leg.

    If you want to find the reservation cost go to http://www.myswissalps.com/gl acierexpress/packages or shop.glacierexpress.ch /gex_en/specials/daytr ips/glacier-express and select “Swiss Travel Pass” as a Reduction for each passenger once you have selected your seats. The fare is free with the STP. You just pay for seat reservations.

    By far the best way to check timetables is using the SBB Mobile app (bit.ly/2ICIUHi). In the unlikely event you don’t have a device capable of running the app then you can use the timetable on the SBB website (bit.ly/2HH1U7B). If you are not familiar with using the timetable it will pay to first read the instructions on this page – http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable.
