  Trains to Italy

  We intend to get Swiss Travel Passes before our trip in April. We’ll be taking the Regional Bernina line from St Moritz to Tirano and then connect to a train from Tirano to Lugano. Most of the first train is in Switzerland with just a small part in Italy as we approach Tirano. Will the Swiss Travel Pass cover this entire trip or do we need to buy a ticket for the part of it that’s in Italy? For the second train from Tirano to Lugano, is it correct that we have to buy entire train tickets? If yes, do we need to do so in advance or can we just buy them at the station the same day? And do we need seat reservations? Also, if we buy 2d class Swiss Travel Passes can we upgrade on particular trains to 1st class? Thanks in advance for your guidance.

  Hello Zauchostez26Link opens in new window. Will the Swiss Travel Pass cover this entire trip or do we need to buy a ticket for the part of it that’s in Italy? Swiss Travel Passes are valid until Tirano. Please note that seats reservations are now also recommended on regional trains during peak periods: https://www.rhb.ch/en/tickets/bernina-line-reservations/Link opens in new window. Zauchostez26Link opens in new window. For the second train from Tirano to Lugano, is it correct that we have to buy entire train tickets? Yes. You must buy entire tickets from Tirano to Chiasso (border station). Zauchostez26Link opens in new window. If yes, do we need to do so in advance or can we just buy them at the station the same day? You can buy the tickets at the station (usually on vending machines). In Italy, tickets for regional trains must be stamped before boarding, you will find devices to do this. Zauchostez26Link opens in new window. And do we need seat reservations? I suppose that you will change in Monza and continue with the RE80, no reservation is necessary or even possible. Zauchostez26Link opens in new window. Also, if we buy 2d class Swiss Travel Passes can we upgrade on particular trains to 1st class? Yes, it is possible. In some trains you can buy the class upgrades in the train, in other ones it is not possible. So it is better to buy the class upgrades before boarding. You are entitled to buy half fare upgrades for a specific leg or day upgrades (50 CHF). Kind regards

  Hello ydeewanaLink opens in new window. You need only a ticket in Italy from Venice to the border station of Chiasso. You can travel with the STP from this station to Lucerne. The price depends of the selected timetable or if you travel with Eurocity or regional trains. If you buy the ticket on trenitalia.com, you may have more discounted prices as on sbb.ch. Kind regards

  Titlis and Jungfraujoch booking with STP

  Hi, I’m planning to visit Titlis on June 13 th from Lucerne and Jungfraujoch on June 15th from Interlaken. I read that there is a discount for STP holders. How much is the discount and is it for all transport modes i.e gondola, rotair etc..? How do i book in the sbb app?
  When I try to book with seat reservation only, there is a message which appears that ‘we cannot offer you a reservation for this connection’.
  I tried to do the reservation for the whole journey and split journey too.

  Hello HafLink opens in new window. You can also purchase tickets in Switzerland at the ticket offices. If the weather is bad, it is very expensive to see only clouds and fog. You can see the discounts on this map: https://www.sbb.ch/en/tickets-offers/travelcards/area-validity-map.html?layers=ch.sbb.geltungsbereiche.mvp-sts If you really want to book tickets in advance, you can do it on these sites: https://www.titlis.ch/enLink opens in new window. https://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/jungfraujoch-top-of-europe/Link opens in new window.
