    Hi ! I have taken a 15 days continuous Swiss Rail Pass starting 17th June. I am trying to reserve seats for travel on Bernina Express from St Moritz to Lugano for 28th June. However it is not allowing dates after 7th June. Could anyone assist and clarify ? Understand, seats can be reserved upto 90 days in advance ?

    Looks like the RGB site isn’t working properly atm. You could email them and ask when it will be up again.

    Hello Rameshdatta and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

    I checked the date you mentioned on the RHB page and get the same result, no dates available after the 7th of June. I also presume and hope it’s a technical issue. Just keep an eye on it in the next days, I for sure will.

    There are more websites where you can book though: http://www.myswissalps.com/be rninaexpress/tickets

    Sorry for not being able to provide more detailed input at the moment and thanks for sharing.

    Best,
    Steph

    You should not use RHB in all capitals as that is the initials of another Swiss railway. The Rhätische Bahn is always rendered as RhB

    Go to shop.rhb.ch/en/bernina -express and make separate reservations for St Moritz to Tirano and Tirano to Lugano.

    Rockoyster that site is still not working for any dates after June 7. I emailed them and they are working on it.

    The RhB website is back up again for the whole of June.

    But follow Rockoysters instructions and book St Moritz to Tirano and then Tirano to Lugano.

    Thanks guys for the help and guidance ! Finally, I could book for 28 June. Yes, tkts on the Bernina express train and on the bus from Tirano to Lugano to be booked separately. And it’s filling fast !
