Swiss pass in panoramic train? |
Travel Info Hi Is swiss pass or swiss youth pass waives off or offers discount in panaromic trains? Thanks in advance Travel Tips I'm not sure but I imagine it's a lovely journey that's worth every penny. Others yes,there is a panoramic train,at the switzerland,i am from switzerland!!! Panoramic trains run on many routes, including the stunning metre guage line between Meringen and Lucerne. Usually you need a 1st class ticket to ride in the panorama coaches. Swiss Pass may give you a discount on some of these trains. Have a look at http://www.jungfrautours.ch/index.php?co... for more information. The Swiss pass includes panoramic trains, though you may have to pay a reservation fee of about 10 CHF per person. I don't think all panoramic trains have second-class panorama cars (though I know at least some do), so you may be out of luck with the youth pass, which is only for second class. But they have "regular" cars as well, which aren't bad. Swiss pass can be either first or second. I live in Switzerland and bring visitors on train tours as often as I can! Your youth pass will only pay for standard trains - you will need to visit the ticket desk in order to be able to get a special train ticket for one of the many panoramic trains in my country. Some companies require you to go directly to their own ticket offices, however, this is very rare. Generally, just head to your nearest large SBB-CFF-FFS station and request a special ticket, but be sure to show your youth pass - as I have said, some lines will require reservations some not. Hope this has helped, S.O. I'm not sure, I'm swiss and I'd say it's defenitly worth it! |
