Boarding Glacier Express- Starting from Zug/Lucern

Hi,

I would be visiting Switzerland along with my wife during Sep 2-8, 2011.

I would be arriving in Zurich on 2nd early morning. I would be staying in Zug for two nights(2nd and 3rd), Lucerne (4th Night) , Interlaken(5th and 6th) and Zurich(7th). Since we are arriving early morning in Zurich, I was thinking of dropping baggage at the hotel in zug and proceeding to board the glacier express at andermatt and travel all the way to chur/st. moritz. I did visit the glacier express website and tried to collect info on which section of the route i have to buy a ticket and on which sections I have to buy a reservation. I have a swiss pass for 8 days. I am still confused.

Would like to know if it would be feasible to travel from zug/lucerne to st. moriz/davos and back on the same day. While taking onward journey i can board at andermatt and travel till davos/st. moriz and come back to zug via-chur-zurich-zug/lucern.

Pl. advise on the reservations/ticket for boarding glacier express from andermatt coming from zug/lucern.

thanks.
Saty

Thanks.

I guess then that taking regional trains also mean that this particular section from Goschenen Andermatt to Disentis will require buying a ticket, although at a discount and covering all the way upto st. moriz may require one/two changes(of trains) along the way.

Yes you will have to buy a ticket for Goschenen to Andermatt to Disentis. If you take the regional trains you will have to change in Andermatt, Disentis, and Riechenau.

Hi,

Regarding tickets: a Eurail Pass would not cover Göschenen - Andermatt - Disentis, but a Swiss Pass allows free traveling there. Please see the map linked from the Swiss Pass page. So you do not need to buy tickets!

Have fun!
