Hi Ajittipnis,
The train stops in Tirano and you transfer to a bus to continue on to Lugano. So you are going to be in Italy. Have you booked reservations? They are mandatory on the Bernina Express train and bus: https://www.myswissalp s.com/berninaexpress/p ackages
Your visa for Switzerland should give you access to all countries in the Schengen zone (as there typically aren’t border checks anymore). You’ll want to confirm this with the Italian embassy/consulate though.

Thanks Lucas.
Does it mean that our swiss visa or rather Schengen Visa is valid not only for swiss but all schengen zone and we can travel within schengen zone many times across any schengen countries ( without leaving the schengen zone).
Also can you inform me any site where I can upload my Itinerary and cross check for the viability or suggestions?
Sorry to bother you again.

Usually once you are in a Schengen zone country you can travel as you please yes. But best to check with a local embassy to be sure for your specific case.
You can copy and paste your itinerary here if you’d like us to look at it.

Hi Ajittipnis,
I went through and looked at a few prices for train trips and there are corrections needed.
Note that the trip from Wengen to Kleine Scheidegg is not fully covered by the Swiss Travel Pass. Same with Kleine Scheidegg to Grindelwald. The entire round-trip is 25% off not just from Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch.
Also First is only covered 50% as well with the Swiss Travel Pass.
Klein Matterhorn is 50% off with Swiss Travel Pass.
Be sure to study our validity page and the map here to make sure everything is corrected before choosing your pass. https://www.myswissalp s.com/swisstravelpass/ validity

You mean 25% Wengen – Jungfraujoch – Grindelwald, Lucas. Nit-picking I know. 🤓
Also Mannlichen cableway not fully covered by STP (50%).

Yes, got me!
There were a few discount issues on there. All needs a double-check I think.
