Hi Ricks,

All the trusted resellers for Swiss Travel Passes are listed here.

A ticket from Zurich HB to Luzern costs CHF 25. The price is fixed, regardless of where or when you buy the ticket. I haven’t seen the price of CHF 29 anywhere. You can simply get the ticket at the station.

Enjoy your trip!

Hi Ricks,

There are only VIP seats between Zweisimmen and Montreux. Details and links can be found on our Golden Pass page. For Lucerne to Interlaken you can board the train with your Swiss Travel Pass; there’s nothing else you need to book.

Hi..

While purchasing swiss pass from the swissrail site there is one option of online ticket among the delievery options. What’s exactly is it? Whether I will get my pass online and with the same I can travel in the trains or its jus a confirmation and further I have to collect ticket or pass from somewhere else.

Please direct me.

thanx

Hi Ricks,

Do you mean this British webshop of the Swiss Railways? In that case, Online Ticket means that you will receive the pass as a PDF document so you can print it yourself. It’s the actual pass you can use to travel, not just a conformation.

Hi Ricks,

From the UK, you’d better order from http://www.swisstravelsystem. co.uk I mentioned in my previous post. In that case you can pay in GBP, and shipping is free if you choose to receive a physical pass, and also free in case of printing it at home. You don’t need to validate the pass at a station. Just fill out the blank fields such as name and passport number, and you’ll be ready to board the trains.

Hi

actually I was purchasing through the u.k site only. I filled all d formalities but there one point was mentioned that for swiss pass and other passes u need to book 2 months before your departure. Thats y I switched to other site and thought of opting the online option.

Thanks a lot for ur reply and guidance.

I see what you mean. The comment “Please note that Swiss Passes, Flexi Passes, Youth Passes and Half Fare Cards can only be issued two months prior to departure” is quite confusing. It does not mean you have to order 2 months in advance. It only means that passes can only be issued that far ahead, so if people buy passes 3 months ahead of time, they can only send the passes 2 months ahead of time. But anyone can order at any time, until a few days before departure.

Well, I’m glad things are sorted out now for you. Enjoy your stay!
