About tickets and reservations
You can buy a point to point ticket for the Golden Pass, or you can travel for free or discounted with a rail pass.
You do not need seat reservations, although reservations are recommended for some trains on the Montreux to Zweisimmen leg. See the timetable for details. The VIP seats on that leg need to be booked in advanced in any case.
