Best train options from Lucerne to St. Moritz

Hello Winnis, and thank you for joining MySwissAlps!
In most cases, it’s more economical to buy a rail pass. It’s hard to tell which one’s best though, as it all depends on the specifics of your itinerary. For example, how long will you be in Lucerne before heading for St. Moritz? Do you intend to make day trips from Lucerne and from St. Moritz? And if so, which? You may start off by reading this guide and looking at a 4 Swiss Travel Pass and a Swiss Half Fare Card, for example.
