Reservations/Tickets required ?

Is it necessary to purchase tickets on trains from Milan to Switzerland?

I have read on a few posts that trains within Switzerland - it is not required?

I am traveling from Milan to Zermatt and them returning Lucerne back to Milan, just wondering if I should purchase ahead of time?

Hi jojofiorito,

You can best get the tickets to and from Milan in advance. Within Switzerland it's indeed not required. The below pages provide further information:
