Tips: On the Glacier Express, the right-hand side leaving Zermatt has the best views climbing to Andermatt; the left side wins on the Albula descent into St Moritz β€” your Excellence host will sort you out. Excellence Class has a minimum age of 18 and seats are non-rotating, so check your direction of travel when booking. On the Bernina Express, sit on the right-hand side leaving St Moritz for the Morteratsch Glacier and Lago Bianco views, then watch the left side for the Brusio circular viaduct near the Italian border. Allow time before each premium service β€” the welcome experience starts the moment you board.

Smart packing tips: Keep your waterproof shell, warm hat & gloves accessible in your carry-on (you'll want them on day 1). Pack quick-dry layers β€” much easier to manage between rain showers. Layering beats heavy single garments for the temperature swings (Zermatt 7Β°C β†’ Milan 25Β°C). Tap the πŸ›’ next to any item you need to buy and it'll appear in the shopping list below.
