I was wondering that if you buy the global pass, can you use it on the Glacier express from Vienna to Switzerland? Also, what would be the best city in Vienna to catch this train and which stop would be more convenient for us to get off at in Switzerland, (we are going to visit a friend who lives in Ostermundigen).
Thank you.
The Glacier Express runs only within Switzerland, from St Moritz to Zermatt. It's a slow trip so you probably need to travel from Vienna on the previous day. Ostermundigen is near Bern, nowhere near the route of the Glacier Express.
You need to do some more research and planning for your trip and find out more about Swiss geography. You can find out about trains from Austria to Switzerland and within Switzerland, and buy tickets, at http://www.sbb.ch/en/home.html. Vienna to Zurich (the first big city in Switzerland from the East) is almost eight hours by Railjet express, so you might want to fly instead.
Also, what do you mean by "best city in Vienna"? Vienna is a city.
Eurail passes only cover the Chur-Disentis portion of the Glacier Express route and gives you a discount on Disentis-Brig-Zermatt; see also "What do rail passes cover in Switzerland?".
To see train schedules from Vienna to any destination, you can just choose the plain city name "VIENNA" and the schedule search will tell you the proper station for departure. How to Look Up Train Schedules and Routes Online gives you the DB train schedule link and tips for using it.
Based on your earlier questions, I assume that the Eurail Pass you're considering is for 15 consecutive days at about $550 per person in 1st class. At the same time that you buy the pass, be sure to make a seat reservation for the TGV to Paris; I would choose a departure from Colmar or Strasbourg, since the seat reservation is cheaper than departing from Basel or Bern on TGV Lyria. All these TGV options are limited for pass holders and can sell out weeks ahead.
Sorry i didnt mean to write that, I have so much on my mind with this trip. I meant where is the best stop in Viena. Thank you for your advice.
lillymch, "best stop in Viena" for what?
If you want to look up trains from Vienna (Wien in German) to Ostermundigen, just go to either the Swiss Railways site ( www.sbb.ch ), or the Austrian railways site ( www.oebb.at ) and enter "Wien" to "Ostermundigen", and the desired time and date, and it will show the trains.
I have been reading some of your recent posts, they are very vague and ambiguous. It is difficult to work out what you are asking, so it is difficult to answer. Also, you keep misspelling place names, it is Vienna, not Viena, which is also confusing.
The first thing you need to decide in is where you want to go. Get a map of Europe (print one out from the internet), mark the places you want to go to, and how many nights in each place. Then draw lines between them in the order you want to go.
Then we can answer specific questions about how to get from one place to another.
The Railjet to Switzerland departs from Vienna Hauptbahnhof, Meidling, and Westbahnhof.

Go to the Westbahnhof in Vienna for connections to Germany or Switzerland.
