Hi, I am leaving tomorrow from interlaken ~> montreux via golden pass and I looked at the ticket and found there are Two seats open but they are not together so my questions are :

1. Can I board the golden pass train if there are no seats available? I don’t really care about care about the view

After having been here for about 10 days but I do like the PE train no change station as I have luggages! so I don’t mind sitting on the floor if I have to 😝

2. I have BO pass and 1/2 fare card , so I was going purchase our ticket from saanen ~~> montreux but pay reservation from interlaken to montruex! But upon buying ticket there is no Saanen only Gstadd ?

please help to see if my above understanding is correct ? And how do I buy the Section out of BO region to montreux?

thanks

Hi fionatravel,

Hope your trip has been going well.

In answer to your questions.

1. Standing is not allowed on the GoldenPass Express train carriages, where seating has been reserved. If you board here, you may be asked to move to a carriage where seating has not been allocated for reservations.

2. As you have the Berner Oberland Pass, that’s correct, traveling from Interlaken to Montreux, you will only need a ticket from Saanen to Montreux. I just did a quick search and there was the option to purchase a ticket from Saanen to Montreux. Purchase options in the attached link:

• https://www.myswissalps.com/goldenpass/tickets

Here’s the link to the Berner Oberland Pass, you’ll see all travel is covered to Saanen.

• https://www.myswissalps.com/regionalpassberneseoberland/validity

Your ticket from Saanen to Montreux is discounted with the Berner Oberland Pass.

Kind regards,

Yolanda
