Hi rohini Jain,
Yes, technically. You’ll just need to have all your things gathered with you and ready to get off the train as soon as you arrive. These connections are designed to work (that would be mean if they were designed not to work)!. 🙂
If you miss the train you can simply take the next one on to Zurich (assuming you have a rail pass or normal train ticket?
Check schedules here (http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable) they leave frequently.
Thank u Luke for the reply.
