Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Preramnan,

An 8-day Swiss Travel Pass includes all of the trains in Switzerland, including the Golden Pass line. It provides a 50% discount on the Mount Titlis cable card, and a 25% discount on the Wengen to Jungfraujoch section (the rest of that trip is free). The children travel along for free everywhere. Please see the Swiss Travel Pass page for all the details.

Whether a Swiss Half Fare Card works out cheaper can be calculated as explained here.

The TGV Lyria tickets are explained here.

Hi Arno,

Thanks for your reply.very useful.very much appreciate it.

I have another question.I was trying to look through the golden pass website.with the Swiss pass I understand that we travel free in this scenic train.but do we need to make seat reservations?. Will that have an extra fee?. How many days in advance can we reserve seats?.

when I try looking for that I could see we need to do reservations in two segments,one from Montreux to Zweisimmem and the other from Zweisimmen to Interlaken ost.

Am bit confused on this,do you have any suggestions?.

Thanks in advance,

Preramnan

Hi Preramnan,

Most trains on the Golden Pass line do not require seat reservations. For some it’s recommended, but not required. Please see here. If you do book seats you’ll pay an extra fee per person. You can already book for June.
