I’d say Zermatt to St Moritz is enough train travel in one day for most mortals.
Use the timetable on the SBB website (bit.ly/2HH1U7B) or the highly-recommended SBB Mobile app (bit.ly/2ICIUHi) to plan your travel and buy tickets if required. If you are not familiar with using the timetable it will pay to first read the instructions on this page – http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable.

We did this trip the other way around last year and it worked well to spend a night in St. Moritz. We left Venice and traveled to St. Moritz (via Milan) in one day, then spent the night in St. Moritz and headed out on the Glacier Express the next morning. It helped that we spent the night at the Waldhaus am See hotel, right next to the train station. Nice hotel and very convenient. I’m a train lover, but either leg of that trip was plenty for one day.

My wife and I will be doing this trip ( Zermatt to St Moritz ) as well. The trip will be long so do take the advice to get off in St Moritz, refresh and relax for the next leg of your journey. Getting from St. Moritz to Venice – depends on your time frame and pocket book. We are taking the Bernina south to Tirano – I recently read of another doing that as well. From Tirano the trains are a bit slower. So we are going to Lake Como, then on to Mantua for us before Venice. You could go directly from Lake Como to V Venice or stop elsewhere along the route – these trains go a bit faster. You could throw Milan into the mix as well
Time – Money these are the factors to consider.
