Golden Pass Panoramic (Switzerland in late Sep)
-
I am planning to visit Switzerland and the following is my planned itinerary:
- 22 Sept – Zurich Airport to Lucern (overnight in Lucern)
- 23 Sept – Lucern to Interlaken Ost (Golden Pass Panoramic) (overnight in Interlaken)
- 24 Sept – Interlaken to Andermatt, then from Andermatt take Glacier Express to Zermatt (overnight in Zermatt)
- 25 Sept – Zermatt (overnight in Zermatt)
- 26 Sept – Zermatt to Geneva (Overnight in Geneva)
- 27 Sept – Geneva, then fly back to London from Geneva AirportI tried to look for Golden Pass
Panoramic’s tickets on this website (http://www.goldenpass.ch), but all they allowed me to do is to reserve my seat with no option for me to buy a ticket on the same system, and therefore not allowing me to proceed further on the web page.
I am based in the UK, I have looked up rail europe website (http://www.raileurope.com) hoping to buy my Golden Pass tickets, but they would not allow me to choose UK as a country of origin on the website. Basically, they have all countries except any European countries.
- I have bought a 4-day Swiss Travel Pass, which day would you suggest I should start using it?
- With the Swiss Travel Pass, do I still need to purchase separate tickets for Golden Pass Panoramic and Glacier Express?
- How different are the VIP seats from first class seats? I am planning to buy first class seats on both scenic trains.
- Will Glacier Express be running in September during my dates?
- How can I buy tickets for Golden Pass and Glacier Express, since the website on http://www.goldenpass.ch would only allow me to reserve my seats?
- Would you suggest me to stay two days in Zermatt (as planned above), or rather, spend two days in Interlaken instead?
- What train would you suggest me to take from Interlaken to Andermatt? I have only planned to go to Andermatt because it is a station where I could board the Glacier Express. Would Visp be a better and more convenient place to board the Glacier Express instead?
- What train would you suggest me to take from Zermatt to Geneva? I don’t suppose there would be any scenic trains – should I just take the standard ones?
I would be very grateful for your advice on the above. Many thanks in advance!
