    hi Steph,

    There are no seats available on 30 Dec for Glacier Express.

    Please can you advise what is the frequency of normal train from Interlaken to Brig and from Brig to Chur?

    Is there an alternate route which I can take to reach Chur faster? I would prefer to reach Chur late in the afternoon or evening so that on that day I can do parasailing in Interlaken and then take my train from Interlaken to Brig and from Brig to Chur.

    If the train frequency is not good then I’ll have to skip the parasailing plan.

    Regards

    Amit

    hi Steph,

    Thanks for the below this is really helpful.

    Can I do a day trip to Montreux from Interlaken via the Golden pass line?

    Take a normal take train to Zweisimenn and from there take the Benoque train to Montreux.

    Do some local sight seeing like visit lake Geneva and then take a normal train from Montreux to Interlaken. Is this doable?

    Hi Amitrane0007,

    yes, it is doable. You can travel on the Golden Pass from Interlaken to Montreux, it operates all year round: http://www.myswissalps.com/go ldenpass/gettingthere. You can choose between Golden Pass Classic and Golden Pass Panoramic trains between Zweisimmen and Montreux. The Classic train has Belle Epoque coaches with a historical luxurious atmosphere.

    I suggest you to walk around Montreux, my favorite is the Promenade. The Chillon Castle is very beautiful too, more activities can be found around Montreux at http://www.myswissalps.com/mo ntreux/activities.
