Can someone please help me determine what is the earliest train I can take to travel from Montreux to Wengen on June 10th? I already have a rail pass but just need to figure out the travel times for my trip. I ordered the rail pass through Rick Steves but they did not send me any kind of rail schedule with my confirmation If someone can post the link to the schedule that would be awesome! Thanks for your help!

Schedules are available on the Swiss Rail site: http://www.sbb.ch
The earliest train will be 5:17am with connections in Lausanne and Bern before arrival in Interlaken for your connections up to Wengen
If you want to take a longer more scenic route via the Golden Pass train, put "Zweissman" in the Via box.

Thank you so much Michael! This really helps! We are considering taking the Golden Pass scenic route that you mentioned. By any chance do you or anyone know if the Golden Pass from Montreux to Wengen will cost me extra or does my Swiss Travel Pass cover it? Also do I need to make a seat reservation for this and if yes, how do I do that? Thanks!

You're welcome. Your Swiss Pass will cover all trains on the Golden Pass route (just hop on a train with your pass). If you want to take one of the panoramic or classic trains it's advisable to get an optional seat reservation at additional cost. You can make the seat reservation at any train station in country or via this site:
