Booking for inter-city train travel with Swiss Travel Pass

mogsx

I have already bought the 8-day consecutive Swiss Travel Pass from a third party website and I’ve received my pdf e-ticket. Several questions I have are:

1) Do I have to make reservations for my transport from city to city (e.g. Lucern to Interlaken)?

2) Will I be able to link my pdf e-ticket to the SBB Mobile app?

3) Why can’t I book a one-way ticket from Lauterbrunnen to Colmar on the 29th of June 2022? Is the route under construction or is it just not open for booking yet?

Thank you.

Hello mogsx

Thank you for your query.

1.) In Switzerland, seat reservations are generally not mandatory. Exceptions are for international night trains and tourist trains (e.g. Glacier Express). You can find information here: https://sbb-tickets.cc/en/travelcards-and-tickets/tickets-for-switzerland/seat-reservations.html

2.) The Swiss Travel Pass cannot be connected to the SBB App if you have not purchased it with the SwissPass login on our website.

3.) The purchase should work on our website. Just tested it (see picture)
