help with booking the William Tell scenic train

Hi Amanda27,

I tried and also have trouble booking the tickets, so this probably is a temporary technical issue. I'll ask around and get back to you. Please note that booking this trip in advance is optional. Doing so will get you seat reservations and lunch. But you can also simply board the train and boat without reservations, assuming that you will have some kind of pass such as the Swiss Travel Pass. All details can be found here.

Hi again,

I got confirmed that it's a technical issue that should be solved within a few days. I found the same problem on several websites. I'll post back here when there's more news.

Booking seems to be possible again. You need to go here (the Canadian site) and book a trip from 'Bellinzona' to 'Lucerne-Boat Wmtell, Switzerland'. The section from Lugano to Bellinzona needs to be booked as a separate ticket, or you can just buy it when you're there. That's because the Wilhelm Tell Express train starts in Locarno and you'll board it in Bellinzona.

Does this work for you now?

Hi angelanorris,

I noticed you're from the US, can you try this page to book? If that does not work for you, please let me know your travel date, arrival/destination station and whether you travel with a rail pass and which one.

Thanks!

Arno
