Hi bvant17 and welcome to MySwissAlps!
You don’t need to book separate tickets for these two routes. Simply go to the Swiss rail (SBB) timetable here.
Enter Geneva and Zweisimmen as your from/to towns and the date for travel. After that you will see a list of trains you can take – all trains will have at least one change – click the + sign to see where the change is. Most change at Montreux…this is what you want to buy. It may help to go to the advanced options tab and enter VIA Montreux.
You must also ensure it says it is the panoramic train under comments from Montreux to Zweisimmen.
For a group of 4 I would probably recommend reservations so you ensure you all sit together.
Click here for more details on the route, pricing and ticket information for the Golden Pass Panoramic train.
Hope that helps!

Thanks Lucas,
Big help to me – much appreciated. One additional question: I saw that in order to get the panoramic train I need to make the 12:20 departure from GVA. Landing at 11AM that should be ok, but if I miss it, is the ticket still valid for the next departure?
Thx once more,
Bas

Hi Bas,
Regular tickets are valid for all trains on the day printed on the ticket, so no problem to take a later train. Seat reservations are only for one specific train, but you don’t need them. Supersaver tickets are for one specific train too, so don’t buy those.
