using SBB app w/BO pass

Posted by (Pennsylvania) on

Hi,
Trying to use SBB app to purchase train tickets in Switzerland.
I am planning to buy Berner Oberland pass - so some part of train tickets will be included by the pass..

If I am planning Lauterbrunnen to Zermatt train trip - part of the train will be covered and some part will not be covered (Lauterbrunnen to Brig is covered) by Berner Oberland pass.

There is no options on SBB app to input my BO pass information.
How do I purchase train tickets using my BO pass information and just pay the part of trip not covered by the pass.
thank you...

For trains that are fully covered by the BO Pass, you just board the train—no ticket needed. You just show the pass to the conductor when they come around to check. So from Lauterbrunnen to Zermatt, just buy a ticket from Brig to Zermatt.

From Spiez to Brig, make sure you are on the correct type of train—-note on the map that the BO Pass only covers the slower regional trains that pass through Kandersteg. You cannot use the faster intercity trains that use the Lôtschberg Basistunnel.

You can see this on the BO Pass validity map:
