Hi Thcshc,

Welcome to MySwissAlps! The Glacier Express route is not closed, it’s just that the official Glacier Express train does not operate. You can still follow the exact same route on normal trains. You will have to change trains a few times along the way, and a small section (Lax to Oberwald) will be by bus because of engineering works. So if you don’t mind a slightly longer trip you can still see the whole route.

Please find more information here:

Hi,

Thank you for the information. Do you know how Much Longer it takes for this route without the glazier express train? Total how much time ?

Is the route still going to be scenic? Would it be better if I go to Saint Moritz upon arrival in Zurich, then go Lugano and travel by the Gotthard Panorama route to Lucern. After Zermatt, I will take a train to Venice. I checked. Journey to Venice almost 8 hours.

That will be because computer railway time apps will always choose the fastest route.

You need to do an advance search and add in some ‘via’ points

Firstly be warned that you don’t see many, if any at all, glaciers from the Glacier Express.

To travel the Glacier Express route you need to take several trains (but see my info on the Glacier express on your other duplicating thread)

Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB) – red/cream narrow gauge trains

Zermatt – Visp – Brig – Fiesch – Andermatt $$

$$ – change trains – sometimes at Visp, sometimes at Brig; depends on time of day

change trains at Andermatt

Andermatt – Disentis Muster

Change to

RhB railway (red ‘main line’ type narrow gauge trains):

Disentis Muster – Reichenau Tamins

change

Reichenau Tamins – St Moritz

Hi Thcshc,

If you go the Glacier Express page I linked to, you can visit the Route tab. The timetable section there explains about the via points 1960man mentioned.
