    Hi gOWING –

    Welcome to the Forum.

    When?

    The Glacier Express does not run all year.

    The nearest airport to the Glacier Express may well only handle small planes.

    Are you flying your own plane, renting a small plane, chartering a flight or using commercial flights?

    If it is not a commercial flight, or is a small plane, you might look at Samedan (Airport Engadin.)

    Perhaps you want the nearest airport that handles regular commercial traffic. Probably Zürich, maybe Geneva, maybe Milano Malpensa..

    Which end of the Glacier Express might be your starting point?

    Slowpoke
