Disentis/Mustér train platforms

Posted by (Northeast Ohio, USA) on

Hi, in late September DW and I are going Chur to Zermatt on local trains (not the Glacier Express), and I am looking at options. My preference calls for a 3-minute transfer from platform 3 to platform 2 at the Disentis/Mustér station. Assuming we really do have 3 minutes, is it realistic to expect to make this transfer?

It is not a big deal if we have to wait an hour for the next train--get something to eat, take a walk--but it would be nice to get to Zermatt an hour earlier, to have that much more chance to see the Matterhorn. Thank you

Disentis/Muster is the border between trains operated by Rhaetische Bahn, and Gotthard-Matterhornbahn. So the train you are transferring to originates at Disentis/Muster. It is simply waiting there for the arriving train from Chur, and when everyone makes the transfer, it will depart. Years of experience tells them that 3 minutes is the right amount of time.

Tracks 2 and 3 share the same platform, so you exit your train and walk 10 ft across the platform and board the other train.

Perfect, thanks. I was hoping it would be something like that.
