The only thing I would really want to do is take the Glacier Express from Zermatt to St. Moritz in Excellence Class. It looks like that might be a harder ticket to book so I may gamble on that and buy farther out and just assume I'll be able to get to the EU at some point before the departure date. I have been looking close in right now and it looks like there are a ton of options on almost any day within the next week to get a nice redemption to somewhere close. I assume that will probably continue after the summer high season.
Thanks everyone for your input!
