Okay, I am a novice with European train travel. We have successfully booked the Eurostar from London to Amsterdam so one down 10 to go. We travel from Luzern to Interlaken on Oct. 1st. I keep reading about the scenic Interlaken express train and that it travels this route. Can I book it for just the Luzern to Interlaken route? Also, I am having difficulty finding how/where to book it. On SBB.CH I am not sure what all the initials stand for – maybe one is the scenic train. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi NWerbie,
Seat reservation on the Lucerne-Interlaken Express is not obligatory. The train runs at hourly interval in both directions so a reservation is really not necessary unless you are travelling in a big group or have a fixed schedule.
Will you have a rail pass during your travel? If you have a Swiss Travel Pass or a Eurail Global Pass, you can travel on the Lucerne-Interlaken Express for free.
