    Hello,

    Greetings.

    I am travelling by Glacier Express to Chur from Zermatt. I have plans to check out my hotel also the same day and further continue my journey towards Zurich. We are a family of 3 and each one of us have a big check in bag and back packs. Can we carry Check in Bags (weighing approx. 20+ Kilograms) in the Glacier Express or there are any restrictions on the space and weightage of the luggage?

    Kindly suggest and thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    Bheemesh
