How to buy a seat reservation against Swiss Pass?
Agniman is looking for help with reserving seats using the Swiss Travel Pass since the SBB website doesn’t allow it. They want guidance on how to reserve a seat on a ticket vending machine while traveling in Switzerland.
- You generally do not need seat reservations for most trains in Switzerland; just use your Swiss Travel Pass and hop on trains freely.
- Only a few panoramic trains require reservations, and links for those can be found on scenic train pages.
- If you must reserve a seat online, select 'GA travelcard' as it’s similar to the Swiss Travel Pass for tourists.

Hi Agniman,
Thanks for your compliments! A few comments to simplify the process for you:
I assume you’re referring to the Swiss Travel Pass. SwissPass is for residents, it’s not what you need as a tourist: http://www.myswissalps.com/train/ticketspasses/practical/swisspass
You generally do not need seat reservations for train traveling in Switzerland: http://www.myswissalps.com/train/reservations. All you need is your Swiss Travel Pass and hop on trains as you like: http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass.
There’s only a few touristic panoramic trains that may require a reservation. Links to do so can be found on our scenic train pages: http://www.myswissalps.com/activities/scenictrips/train.
If there is still a need to buy a reservation on the SBB website (very rare, I never did in 23 years), a Swiss Travel Passs holder can select “GA travelcard”, which is a card for residents similar to the Swiss Travel Pass: http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass/details.
Enjoy your travels!
