Hi Swisssiam -
Please see this thread. Very relevant. Please read it all.

I bought the complete timetable on paper last December, at Zürich main station or perhaps airport. In theory, you can get it at any manned station, but the large stations are a better bet. They are not so popular anymore. People prefer the simplified version as on this website:

or,
www.sbb.ch/en/home.htm l
However, if you would like the paer versions, for 14 CHF (maybe it is 16 CHF now) you get three large books- one for trains/boats/public transport cable cars (blue). Two for buses (yellow) . I did not get the buses books because my luggage was full. Same price for just one or all three.
They provide a set of information in a form that the usual online timetable does not provide, but can be confusing unless you are very careful. I love them and use them all the time for my trip planning.
