    Hi

    I tried to make a reservation on the Glacier Express for the 12/12/24 and a message popped up saying reservations were closed till mid October for bookings from the 14/12/24 onwards.  The timetable has trains from the 7th of December?  Does anyone know when bookings will open in October and if the timetable is correct or trains are starting on the 14th not the 7th.

    Thanks

    I am not 100% sure, but I know that the Glacier Express stops running from sometime in October to December.  There is also always a timetable change in December, so that could be why too.

    You could try emailing them, they are very helpful I found.
