That is super helpful again….. thank you.I will work on that plan for now and keep an eye on things as the date gets closer.So appreciate your help.
Actually…. when I went into that site, added in our starting point and destination etc….. this is what it came back with: the LONG journeys of 13hours etc. Is that what you would have expected? Thank you again.
That is so helpful thank you! We are leaving Monterosso and heading to stay the night in Tirano. We will then get the Bernina Express the next day through to Chur. I will go to the tickets.oebb.at site you suggested and see if I can make it all happen through there.So appreciate your help.Thank you again.
I believe you mean Ringgenberg near Interlaken ? The SBB app is really useful but it will show the quickest journey (as it should !), not the most scenic. You can add "via x or y town" in any case. To simplify my message I selected Interlaken instead of Ringgenberg. There is an hourly train to Ringgenberg or buses (not covered) or some boats (covered) Chur - Ringgenberg : Quickest journey : - Chur - Zürich HB - Bern - Interlaken Ost : 3h20, usually twice per hour More scenic : - Chur - Pfäffikon SZ - Lucerne - Interlaken Ost Even more scenic : - Chur - Disentis/Mustér - Andermatt - Göschenen - Lucerne - Interlaken Ost Ringgenberg - Zurich : Quickest journey : - Interlaken Ost - Bern - Zurich 2h (direct sometimes or with an easy connection in Bern) More scenic : - Interlaken Ost - Lucerne - Zurich Scenic and lesser known : - Interlaken Ost - Bern - Lucerne (RE train, not the IR15) - Zurich All train connections in Switzerland are at least hourly, in many cases there are 2 trains per
You're welcome. Please use the SBB app when you're there : it gives you train tracks, delays, compositions of most trains + how busy each carriage should be. Very useful ! Let me know for any advice about trains, especially in Switzerland. I could tell you how busy that train might be (from experience) or anything else :) Thank you again. I will definitely use the SBB app. Our primary routes in Switzerland will be Chur to Riggenberg and then Riggenberg to Zurich in early July this year, with six adults. Really appreciate your assistance.
There should be a "See prices” link if reservation is possible and there won’t be if reservations are not possible. Most trains have no reservations at all. If you give details (route, date, departure time), then people can say whether reservations are possible and where best to book them. The app can't book reservations, it can only forward to some of the websites where you can book, including the Eurail website. Reservations are most likely cheaper elsewhere because Eurail charge extra fees. See: https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm And this thread: Thank you. This is a plethora of useful info and links. Much appreciated.
Let us know the route. If it is a regional train, no reservations are possible at all. And for example it is a waste of money to book seat reservations in Switzerland : plenty of trains and capacity usually + as nobody makes reservation, you might find someone very surprised that he's sitting on your seat and needs to move... Thank you. That is helpful. I have been looking at Swiss routes. This is good to know.
Don't be shy and let us know about your challenge.
