Hi all,
I will be travelling to Milan from Grindelwald after exploring Switzerland. I understand that with a Swiss Travel Pass, I can reach Domodossola and then get a ticket from there to Milan Centrale. However, i am not sure if the train i am taking from Spiez to Domodossola is the same train as the one from Domodossola to Milan, or do i need to alight and change train? I think from Spiez there is train EC51/59 to Milan, but i could not find the tickets for the same train from Domodossola to Milan on Omio (The train was TRENORD 2419/2443).
Any advice?
Thank you!

Ronnieg8 – am I right that you planning journey between 9th of June and 8th of September? In this period train no 51 is going to Domodossola only. More – don’t using any travel agent and buy tickets / reservations directly on the Trenitalia website: https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html

Hi Kamil,
I will be travelling in mid May.
And it is a reason why you should ignore apps/websites like Omio, Thetrainline, etc. – Trenitalia website sell tickets for mid-May for above direct EC trains to Milan without any problems, both from Domodossola and Spiez.

I see, so am i right to say that the STP covers the EC train up til Domodossola, and i just need a ticket from domodossola to Milan? Without having the alight the train?
Ronnie98 – yes. And I suggest to booking parallelly ticket for Domodossola-Milan section (which include seat number too) and the same seat on section Spiez-Domodossola. It allow to avoid seat change at Domodossola station if your seat on section Spiez-Domodossola will be occupied (train starts in Basel).

Understood, thank you so much! 🙂
