Hi Annika, Arno and Lucas

i know this question has been answered many times before but could you clarify as the SBB website seems to have changed its layout and I cant find actual train information

I wish to travel from Montreux to Zermatt on the 27th June leaving at approx 10.00 i have an interal global pass which states that i must make a seat reservation if using the glacier express .

My question is therefore can i avoid this by using a normal train on the same route and therefore not require seat reservation

Many thanks for you valuable advice in advance

Hi twiggy321,

For this journey it’s really not necessary to pick a Glacier Express train, as it’s only about the short section Visp-Zermatt. Regular trains on the exact same route will do and you don’t need any reservations for those. A connection that involves the Glacier Express will be labeled with a red “GEX”-icon in the timetable. If you click on one of the presented connections, a drop-down list with more details will appear.

Does this help?

Hi twiggy321,

This connection doesn’t involve a Glacier Express train (otherwise the red GEX-icon will be displayed), so no seat reservations are needed and your Interrail Global Pass will cover the ride: myswissalps.com/interr ailglobalpass/validity.
