We want to travel from Interlaken Ost via Zweisimmen to Montreaux. I believe the golden pass panoramic train does the second part of this trip. Is it possible to leave about 9.00 am arrive around noon and then leave Montreaux about 4.00pm to travel back to Zweisimmen with the panoramic train and then back on to Interlaken ? Which is the best sight to purchase these tickets online and reserve first class seats? We will be travelling on the 2nd January 2020.

Maybe not so soon, but you can make reservations for the Golden Pass Line (http://www.myswissalps.com/go ldenpass) including seat selection at bit.ly/2kaq6Rf. Click the “e” for English language top right of the page. (where it says “Sprachwahl: d i f e”). Then change the class of travel, date of travel and start/end points to suit. Reservations are not compulsory but are recommended on the Zweisimmen to Montreux leg (which is where the Panoramic and Belle Époque trains operate) during peak tourist season.

Dear Steph

Thank you for the information. When I clicked on the timetable link and I just put in a date for which the timetable is available the route that came up was not via Zweisimmen but rather went through Visp which is not the Panoramic train. I found an “advanced timetable search” which allowed me to put in a “via” stop but I could not get that to work. Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong

Dear Rockoyster

Thank you for your information. When I went to the link for the seat selection I couldn’t get the language to change to “e” . Do you know whether these sites are compatible with internet explorer or do I need to use a different browser?

Hi Lizzy,

You need to go via Zweisimmen to get the timetable to give you the correct routing. I use Safari as a browser. Haven’t used IE for years but would be surprised if the “e” version wouldn’t work on IE these days (unless you have a very old version).

Use the timetable on the SBB website (bit.ly/2HH1U7B) or the highly-recommended SBB Mobile app (bit.ly/2ICIUHi) to plan your travel, find fares* and buy tickets if required. If you are not familiar with using the timetable it will pay to first read the instructions on this page – http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable. *SBB website shows half-fare prices by default, mobile app allows you to nominate full or half-fare and is also smart enough to offer you the Saver Day Pass (http://www.myswissalps.com/sa verdaypass) if that offers the best fare.

You will find the official MOB timetable (up to mid December) here.
