Best will be in that case if you buy through sbb.ch a Sparpreis ticket (valid ONLY for the choosen train). For tomorrow it is available from 33,2 CHF without a reduction card. So there and back would be around 66,4 CHF in the best case. Flexi ticket would be 80 CHF (return). With Interrail/EUrail you get also a discount on the ticket. It should cost you “only” 72CHF in that case. See here: https://shop.titlis.ch/ (add Interrail/Eurail when you buy the ticket). Just a personal opinion: in my opinion there are better places to visit in Switzerland than Titlis. It is nice, but overpriced and not as special as e.g. Jungfrauregion IMO. what about Interlaken? How to go cheap there from Zurich Hb?
Ok I think I’m up for it… we will take the long route. Do you recommend via St. moritz or the Pontresina-Samedan way?
We actually left Milano this morning towards Tirano to catch the 10:06 Tirano train to Chur via St. moritz. But mistakenly we boarded on the wrong train and ended up in TURINO instead of TIRANO. How silly… we were in a rush so didn’t quite catch the name difference and took the wrong platform. Now we are on our way back to Milano from TURINO. We will arrive Milan at 12:50. I see 2 options. 1. take the 13:20 train from Milano-Tirano-Pontresina-Samedan-Chur-Zurich at 22:48. Basically whole day in the train. I don’t mind it considering the weather (rain and fog) would it be worth it? 2. Take the fast speed train at 13:10 from Milano and be in Zurich 17:27. Even if the weather is little favorable, would it be possible to catch the views on a fast speed train from Milano to Zurich for some self consideration? I am okay with both options but I just want to make sure if I am spending those extra hours on the train, I would be able to catch the views. Please advise. This TIRANO TURINO ju
Thanks @MartinM. I was actually planning Tirano- St. moritz- Chur line. Do you recommend Sameden- chur over this?
@thibcabe Just checking online, the st moritz to chur like disrupted with 4 more stops 🙄 https://www.sbb.ch/en?date=%222024-05-02%22&moment=%22DEPARTURE%22&selected_trip=2&stops=%5B%7B%22value%22%3A%228509369%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22ID%22%2C%22label%22%3A%22Tirano%22%7D%2C%7B%22value%22%3A%228509000%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22ID%22%2C%22label%22%3A%22Chur%22%7D%5D&time=%2208%3A00%22
@thibcabe , I reached out to the customer service and they granted me an extra day. Thanks
@thibcabe , sooo I am going to Vienna from Prague on 14:44 train RJ 371 (already in the train) and will take night flixbus (€60 each) to Venice arriving at 8am. All worked out well. for the Zurich - Paris I booked from raileurope $64 total as you suggested. Thanks for helping me out man
@thibcabe what about this option via Vienna?
How about this option? @thibcabe
Sorry @thibcabe I meant I can leave Prague tomorrow afternoon around 5-6PM for Verona or any other location that can take me to Venice the next day by 29th AM.
@thibcabe I can do Prague - Verona tomorrow . Please suggest me which one and what to do
@thibcabe we can also go to Prague to Verona and then go to Venice from Verona. So please suggest if that’s a good option or to bypass the bus ride. Sorry should have booked the seats yesterday as you said.
@AnnaB how are you able to to get to your page? The ÖBB app. For the same date and trains??
Then that's why. Only a single seat and single couchette is left. You could get a sleeper for 400-500€ but I'm pretty sure you want to avoid that. Please give all info from the start. I'll check if there are alternatives but not sure at this short notice. I am to leave Prague tomorrow (April 28) afternoon and reach Venice next morning. For 1 adult male and 1 youth female with global pass. Please let me know if you need any other info @thibcabe thanks
@thibcabe 2. 1 adult male 1 youth female
@AnnaB how are you able to to get to your page?
Hi @Hektor and @AnnaB , I did choose the global pass when adding the passengers (me-adult, wife-youth). I am getting the below:
Hi @Hektor , thanks. It says no ticket available.. I selected “seat reservations only” option after putting general info on the 1st page. what to do?
Thanks @thibcabe . What about the cars with glass top?
Thanks @ralderton . So I will only need to reserve for the NJ 40466 train right? And yes, I have my wife with me. Also, will this entire trip be regarded as a single travel day?
Oh totally missed that with countdown. So screenshot is not allowed?? All the YouTube videos mentioned to have the screenshot ready in case the app don’t connect or bad networks
Hi @rvdborgt thanks. I thought I already added the train here? In your screenshot, Monday 29 April is an activated travel day without any train added. @rvdborgt thanks for pointing it out. I have canceled the travel day. Although I have plans to go to Lucerne/ my titli on that day but as you mentioned, by when should I activate the travel day?
It's not a good idea to activate your pass or any travel days in advance. Just do that shortly before you board the first train of the day. That minimises the chance for mistakes. It's not a good idea either to activate a travel day without adding any trains, which you seem to have done here. When the pass needs to activate a travel day, it will ask for your confirmation to do so. Hi @rvdborgt thanks. I thought I already added the train here?
@thibcabe The issue is, my initial plan was to reach Milan on May 1st by 10-11am so that I can cover both Milan and Florence on the same day and go to Venice on May 2nd. But since I am adding the Bernia express I would not be able to reach Milan until 15:40 which mean I cannot do Florence on that day. That’s why I was thinking is spending 2nd day in Zurich (April 30th) to see Grindelwald, Interlaken really worth it considering that I will have the same (if not more) view if I take the Bernia express on April 30 so that my Milano, Florence plan does not get harm.
Hi @thibcabe , thanks. Yes we will arrive Zurich on 29th at 9am so we will have full days of 29 and 30. I was planning to first go to Lucerne to see the chapel bridge, lion monument, clock tower and then head to Mr Titlis for the gondola ride. I was looking the tickets for the gondola online and man, they are expensive. So are you suggesting not to buy them online? Are they available on the spot? That honestly is a good plan if possible. So for the 2nd day (April 30), since I have the time squeeze, I have 2 options,option 1 - go to Grindelwald (the slide looks interesting), Interlaken and lake thun. option 2 - skip option 1 and take the bernia express to Tirano and enter Milan. I know Bernia express is really worth it and do not want to miss it. So my question is since we will already experience a beautiful view through the Bernia express, is it worth to spend the 2nd day going Grindelwald, interLaken area? Or do have they anything else to offer?
