    Is there a certain way to use the timetable in MySwissAlps? Every time I try to use it, I just go in circles, and get no results. Very frustrating. I don’t understand what needs to be put in the fields. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi Danielsan,

    Strange! Let’s see how to help.

    The SBB timetable (on the right on the link below) is the best one to use for most trip searches: http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable

    Enter your from town or mountain and your to town or mountain. Select your travel date and departure time and hit search. You should then be directed to the Swiss railways website with your search results displayed.

    What route, date and time are your searching for?
