    Hi Snehap,

    I’m glad to hear our advice has been useful! The Glacier Express and Bernina Express are both wonderful I think. Perhaps one can say that the Bernina Express offers more variety in a shorter trip. You and your cousin can compare both options here:

    Zermatt is great for hiking in August (if the weather is good). Definitely worth it for that, and for the views.

    Hi Snehap,

    I enjoyed the Bernina better than the Glacier Express. You can read my trip reports here https://goo.gl/K9hHfR and here https://goo.gl/LTkZjT.

    By August I guess there will be less snow about on either route.
