is golden pass train included in swiss pass
A great question about traveling in Switzerland!
The GoldenPass Line is a scenic train route that connects Montreux to Lucerne, passing through the Swiss Alps. The route is operated by three different train companies: MOB (Montreux-Oberland-Bahn), BLS (Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon), and SBB (Swiss Federal Railways).
Now, regarding the Swiss Travel Pass:
* The Swiss Travel Pass (also known as the Swiss Pass) is a popular travel card that grants you access to public transportation in Switzerland, including trains, buses, and boats.
* The GoldenPass Line is partially included in the Swiss Travel Pass. Here’s the breakdown:
+ The MOB section (Montreux to Zweisimmen) is fully included in the Swiss Travel Pass.
+ The BLS section (Zweisimmen to Interlaken) is also fully included in the Swiss Travel Pass.
+ The SBB section (Interlaken to Lucerne) is partially included, but you may need to pay a small supplement for some trains, especially if you want to travel on a scenic train with panoramic windows.
To clarify, if you have a Swiss Travel Pass, you can travel on the GoldenPass Line without additional costs, but you might not have access to all the scenic trains or special panoramic coaches. If you want to experience the full GoldenPass Line with all its scenic glory, you may need to book a separate ticket or pay an upgrade fee, depending on the type of train and class of service.
It’s always a good idea to check the Swiss Travel Pass website or consult with a local train station staff to confirm the details and any possible restrictions before your trip.
