Golden Pass train reservation & travel pass prices

Short summary – read this first

A family of four is planning a trip from Montreux to Interlaken on July 26 and is looking for the best prices on the Swiss Travel Pass for 15 days. They also want to know if they need to reserve seats for the panoramic train on their route. Cheers!

Key takeaways:
  • Purchase Swiss Travel Passes online, and consider a Youth Pass for the 20-year-old and a Swiss Family Card for the 12-year-old.
  • Reservations are required for the MOB Belle Epoque train between Montreux and Zweisimmen; check the timetable to ensure you book the right train.
  • No reservation is needed for the sections of the Golden Pass route from Zweisimmen to Interlaken.

    Hi Karim and welcome to MySwissAlps!

    You can purchase the Swiss Travel Passes online here. You can buy a Swiss Travel Pass Youth for the 20 year old and the free Swiss Family Card to cover the 12 year old.

    The older heritage style panoramic trains run on the Montreux to Zweisimmen route of the Golden Pass.
    They usually run twice per day – you can check the timetable here to be sure you are reserving the correct train (they are listed as MOB Belle Epoque) and you can make the reservations for that section here.

    The other sections on the Golden Pass route don’t need reservations (from Zweisimmen on to Interlaken).

    Many thanks, this helped…

    I looked at MOB Panoramic train; It seems equally good. I would reserve my seat in this train.
