SBB link and SBB mobile ticket purchase question
-
Hi,
I am planning a trip to Switzerland June 2020 starting June 17 for approximately 8-11 days. Tentatively we will fly into Zurich and will stay overnight at the following destinations: Zurich, Morges, Montreux, Zermatt, Lauterbrunnen, Lucerne. We will leave Switzerland and head to France via Basel to Colmar. I start to do the match to find what would be the best trail pass option for our trip, 8 or 15 days Swiss Pass or half fare card.
With Swiss Travel Pass, we just jump into the train and show the pass without any seat reservation except for scenic train ride. With half fare card, we just purchase the ticket with 50% discount and show the half fare card on the train. Is this correct?
When I look at the fare at SBB link from my laptop, the fare is default at 50% off. But when I look at SBB mobile, it is full fare. So if I purchase half fare card via SBB mobile, will it give an option to reduce the fare at final payment? CHF 5 for seat reservation, do I need to purchase seat reservation?
Scenic train ride question – We are keen in landscape photography, so we are rather not spend a straight 8+ hour train ride. We are looking to break the ride as follows: 1) Golden Pass from Montreux to Zweisimmen, then change to regular train to Zermatt to arrive late afternoon. 2) After one night in Zermatt, we take a train to (Thun, Spiez, Interlaken, not sure where to base to conveniently exploring Thun, Bern, Cruise on Lake Brienz, Lauterbrunnen, Murren, Schilthorn. 3) After few days, we will take Golden Pass from Interlaken to Lucerne. Will we miss out any spectacular view by skipping the Glacier express route?
Looking at SBB timetable, how do I distinguish between regular train versus Golden Pass train?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
