    I am wanting to take the GEX from St. Moritz to Brig (not all the way to Zermatt) on 17 December. I can’t figure out what season December is and nor can I figure out the timetable for leaving St. Moritz

    Am I just not seeing December?

    High season = 30-May-2019 – 15-Sep-2019

    Mid season = 30-March-2019 – 29-May-2019 and 16-Sep-2019 – 13-Oct-2019

    Low season = 01-Jan-2019 – 29-March-2019

    Thanks for some help!

    High season for the Glacier Express services is mid summer when up to 4 run per day. December – end April is high season for the Alps (ski season) but not high season for the GEX – but 2 per day run from mid December

    Hi Nwenning1,

    The Glacier Express operates twice daily in winter.

    You can check the winter schedule (effective 15 Dec 2019 – 8 May 2020) by following the timetable link under “More on other websites” at http://www.myswissalps.com/gl acierexpress/gettingth ere.

    For more information about the Glacier Express, see this page:

    Anna,

    Thank you for the link to the Winter Time Table. I guess I just missed the winter one. Now I just need to book my trip!
