    We two are travelling from lucerne to Milan via arth goldau on 31.07.18. We are having Swiss pass. I tried booking tickets on Sbb Website but i could not find pass holder fare. Can you please guide me from where I can book pass holder fare ticket.

    Is chiasso border of Switzerland and Italy?

    Welcome to MySwissAlps Ankur!

    As you live in India you can get pass holder tickets here: http://www.raileurope. co.in/train/italian-international-trains (click “I have a rail pass” while filling out trip details). This is just one of the options though. With a Swiss Travel Pass you don’t need tickets for the Swiss leg of your trip, which is Lucerne to Chiasso, so alternatively you can simply buy a regular ticket for the Chiasso to Milan section only. You can do so here: http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/italy/price.

    SBB is the domestic site so it does not offer discounts for the tourist passes. Theoretically you can pick “GA” which is not the same thing but it should result in the same discount.

    Thanks for info. Actually rail europe does not show train for 15:18 from lucern . Is there anyway to book ticket from lucern to chiasso with swiss pass in advance as this is season time.

    Hi Ankur,
