    Hi,

    We are currently in Wengen and thanks to all the advice and tips on this forum, we are having a wonderful time and are in total awe of the beauty everywhere we go.

    We will be in Montreux on the 18th afternoon and will be checking in to our hotel room in Zurich on the 24th. Would it be possible to transfer our bags through the Sbb luggage door to door service and collect the bags after nearly 5-6 days?

    It is not clear on the sbb website if this service is available for so many days. Also, could you please assist us with the pricing for the same?

    Thanks in advance.

    Diksha

    Hi Diksha,

    Yes, you can send your bags to Zurich and pick up at Zurich main station or a hotel anytime 2 days later.
    The fees are noted on the website through the link here: http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/practical/luggage (under more on other websites). It is 12chf per piece of luggage with a 25chf flat fee for delivery service.
