    The new GoldenPassExpress train is no different to any other train service on the MOB railway – the whole route remains free on Swiss Travel Pass as it is part of the national core transport network

    Hello Kyle Caryl T,

    The only in case in which you’d need additional reservations on top of the Swiss Travel Pass would be if you’d want to travel in the GoldenPass Express Prestige class. For 1st or 2nd class you don’t need anything else. See http://www.myswissalps.com/goldenpass/tickets for details.
