About tickets and reservations
You can buy a point-to-point ticket for the GoldenPass route, or you can travel for free or discounted with a rail pass. See here for guided tours and packages.
In addition to your pass or ticket, you may have to pay for seat reservations. Reservations are usually not obligatory on the GoldenPass route. This is how it works for each section.
