Hello,I am trying to book 1st class tickets on the Glacier express from Zermatt to St.mortis.We are a Family group of 7pax ( 5 adults & 2 children – 9 year & 12 Year old).We have purchased a 2nd class Swiss Travel Pass for all for 15 days in which we got a family card for my 2 children as both parents are Travelling.

Question 1 :What should I choose in the drop down box of options I get while booking a seat for my children in Glacier express where I only pay for reservation ?As I understand, parents with Swiss Travel pass their children Travel free with a Family card. If i choose an option child 6-15.9 yrs. It’s asking me to Pay half price which is around 185 CHF !!! Reservation should only cost 49CHF    Question 2 :Also can I reserve a seat in 1st class when I hold a 2nd class Swiss Travel pass ?

Hi Pretty,

Welcome to MySwissAlps.

Your children will need their own seats on the Glacier Express so you will need to reserve 5 seats.

Since you will be travelling with the Swiss Travel Pass and Swiss Family Card, there is no need to purchase ticket as the Swiss Travel Pass/Swiss Family Card is valid as your tickets. Just choose reservation only when you make the booking online. https://www.myswissalps.com/activity/glacier-express/

If you wish to travel in 1st class, you would need to purchase a seat upgrade. https://www.myswissalps.com/travel/train/classes/

Hope this helps.
