BE reservation first or Swiss rail pass first?

Posted by on

Do we need to buy the swiss travel pass first before making reservations ONLINE on the BE?
So if I choose the Swiss Travel pass as my option , so I need to enter a number off the Swiss travel pass to complete the reservation?

Trying to understand if the following is possible:
a) Reserve seats on the BE online from the US by selecting 'Swiss travel pass' option.
b) Buy the Swiss travel passes once we land in Switzerland?

Additionally, can e-ticket reservations be done for BE where I can print out at home and carry with me?
Thanks

If you depart Milan at 10:20, then layover time in Tirano looks like about 90 minutes, so you should have time to stop at the station and buy the pass, but reconfirm for your travel date. Otherwise, Swiss Travel Passes purchased in advance come pre-validated, so you don't have to stop in the station for anything.
