Can someone give me some guidance on getting from Stresa, Italy to Murren. How this will work with the BO pass? I know I will need to buy my ticket to Domodossola. Do I stay on the same train and then show my BO pass? Also, I believe that there is only one train route that is covered by the pass. How will I know which train to take?
Thanks in advance!
Currently, you take the replacement bus from Stresa to Domodossola, then the RE 1 to Spiez. The RE 1 goes from Domodossola at 7:58, 9:58, 13:58, 15:58, 17:58, 19:58. From Spiez take any trains to Interlaken Ost, then Lauterbrunnen, then bus to Stechelberg and cable car to Muerren.
Thank you! I will make sure it is RE 1 and then show the BO pass on all the Switzerland legs.
the RE1 will be silver with very bright green doors. The 09:58 is direct to Spiez (destination Bern). Sit on the left for the good bit after Brig. If you arrive earlier you may see the 09:48 Eurocity train going down to Brig, it will probably be grey with red sections and almost empty, do not get on it.
From Spiez to Interlaken take whatever train is going that way and stay on to the final stop at Interlaken Ost.
Thank you for the detailed information.
Here is a picture of the RE 1, aka the "Loetschberger". The picture shows the train on "the ramp", the section of the line between Brig and the Groppenstein, where the train enters the old Loetschberg Tunnel. If the train shown is moving away from you in the photo, you see why you want to be on the left hand side for the view of the upper Rhone Valley.
