I am plannning to take the whole route of Glaciar Express. However if i opt for local trains instead of?

Question

Glaciar express, eventhough i have to change, i can avoid the crowds plus i will have freedom to choose the sections. Does local trains follow same route or there is a special track for Glaciar Express. Is the experience same? Which section of the Zermott-St Moritz is most spectacular?

Answer 1

The Glacier-Expres is more luxurious and has special panorama-windows. You can do the route in a normal train as well but there is no guarantee that it is not crowded. Most spectacular is the part trough the Rhine River Valley.
