On my first day of travel I need to go from Innsbruck to St Moritiz. The planner is saying I need to take three trains. My question is do I book the three trains individually and get 3 tickets or do I book it as one trip Innsbruck to St Moritz and get one ticket? Thank you

Three possible answers:

  1. You don’t have to book anything, since the pass is your ticket. All trains are included on this route.
  2. Unless you mean that you have to log every journey in your rail planner app. You can do it all in one, but personally I won’t do it. I log every train separately, in case of delays or a spontaneous decision to take a break somewhere halfway, this makes logging later trains easier.
    (PS, there sometimes are mistakes in the rail planner app, best use planners or local planners like www.bahn.com, www.sbb.ch/en or www.oebb.at/en . Only use the rail planner app to log your journeys, not plan them).
  3. if you mean getting seat reservations, not really worthwile getting those. Maybe for the train from Innsbruck to Switzerland if it’s excpected to get busy, but get them at www.oebb.at/en , select seat reservation only. 3 EUR per seat. You can also just hop on board and find a free seat. In Switzerland you don’t have to bother about reservations, waste of money, nobody does it. Just hop on any train and find a free seat.

If you have a pass, then that is your ticket.

You may want to book a reservation for the first train, from Innsbruck, on tickets.oebb.at (€3). For trains in Switzerland a reservation is not needed.
