    hello everyone

    I am planning to travel from Zermatt to St. Moritz on the Glacier express train.

    I have Swiss travel pass.

    Is it possible to pay the reservation fees onboard the train or I have to buy ticket before boarding the train.

    regards.

    Hi Bashnaini,

    Reservations should be purchased as soon as you can, not on board. These trains can book out. Please see myswissalps.com/ glacierexpress/ tickets.

    Enjoy the ride!
