About a month ago I went to buy two Glacier Express tickets but I was too early to buy them so instead I got the reservations (and dinner!) early.

I’ve now gone back to the website to book our actual tickets but every time I do, it also adds on seat reservations which I don’t need.

I am logged in to the website but am trying to do this on my phone. Is there something I’m missing?

The website I am using is http://www.glacierexpress.ch/ en

Also – I’ve decided on getting the half fare card. Should I buy the before my GEX ticket or does the order of purchase not matter?

thanks

Hi George,

You will need a regular point to point ticket http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/switzerland

However, if you’re ok with the restrictions of a Saver Day Pass that might be the much cheaper option for you: http://www.myswissalps.com/sa verdaypass

For the Swiss Half Fare Card, you can buy it from one of the retailers here: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isshalffarecard/price

As long as your card is valid from the start of your trip, the order of purchase does not matter.

All the best on your travels!!

Maria.

Hi Rahul,

No you don’t need to if travelling between Zermatt and St Moritz as can be viewed here: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/validity

The reason George needs to buy a ticket is because he has a Half Fare Card instead of a Swiss Travel Pass. http://www.myswissalps.com/gl acierexpress/tickets

Thanks for your help, I think I’ve figured it out.

It all seems a bit confusing! The Saver Day Pass will save us a little bit of money, especially as we are doing a short trip to Chur in the morning.

To me, the Glacier Express seems like a tourist attraction so its hard to notice that it is still a train and you can still buy tickets on the usual outlets. I would have not guessed that the Saver Day Pass etc would work on the Glacier Express for that reason but I’m glad it does.

Danke, Merci

Hello, Hallo, Bonjour george570,

As you say, the Saver Day Pass would allow you to travel on the Glacier Express (not covering reservation, though)
Check this link for details:
