Hello. I need some help with my train tickets. We are getting the Swiss Travel Pass for our time in Switzerland. However, we are traveling to Interlaken from Florence. Obviously the part of our trip that takes place in Italy will not be covered by the pass. What is the best way for me to purchase tickets from Florence to Interlaken and from Interlaken to Colmar? Thanks so much for the help!

I have not done the Florence to Interlaken part, but I have done Interlaken to Colmar. the travel pass will cover you until Basel. So just buy a ticket (get the SBB app on your phone) from Basel to Colmar. Same for Florence, just figure out the route and what ever the first stop is at the Swiss border is where you will buy your ticket from Florence to. (depends on the route and time you leave Florence). The train station in Florence has a good ticket counter and they can tell you exactly what you need. No need to buy them in advance.

When will this be?
There are two routes from Florence to Interlaken. Which one is the best depends on your travel day. You will either go via Domodossola or via Chiasso. So you will need a ticket Florence -Domodossola or Florence - Chiasso.
