If I know the journey is free with swiss pass, do I still need to show swiss pass to anyone before boarding? or Will I go straight to the train and have seat? How will I know if that seat is not reserved for someone else?
Also, I have another question. If I book a ticket from lets say, Grindelwald to Jungfraujoch. Can I get out of train at kleine scheidegg to take some pictures and then hop-in on next train? or Do I have to buy ticket again from kleine scheidegg to Jungfraujoch?
Thank you
If you are taking an inter-city journey(full covered by the pass), you just hop on the train; you don't need to get tickets. While it's technically possible to get a seat reservation for inter-city trains, in practice almost no one does it- so seats are first come first serve. On scenic journeys where the pass only covers a portion of the fare, you need to go to the ticket window, show your pass, and get a discounted ticket.
From Grindelwald to Jungfraujoch you can take any departure you want along the journey, and break it up anyway you want.
do I still need to show swiss pass to anyone before boarding?
No. Take a seat. If the conductor comes by, show your pass (and passport). This is assuming it is a continuous pass that has a validated start date. If it is a Flex Pass, fill the date in on the pass before boarding.
If you buy a round trip to the Jungfraujoch, you can hop on and off as much as you want as long as you are making a single journey. You change trains at Kleine Scheidegg anyway. So you do not have to make the next immediate train to the top.
Sam ! Thanks for answering. Can you please elaborate on what you said *** "If it is a Flex Pass, fill the date in on the pass before boarding."
I will be using flex pass. Do I have to go to counter to get the date validated every time I board train or only first time? What you mean by "Fill the date in" ?
....you're welcome.
