Hello! I am traveling from Milano to Domodosolla on September 19. The morning trains from Milano Centrale were all sold out so I switched to Milano Porta Garibaldi. It appears the trains from Domodosolla run hourly to Brig. I have a Swiss Travel Pass. Is there any chance the train will be full and I will not get the time I want? I do currently have the option of buying full fare ticket but don’t know if that is necessary. Thanks for your help!

After rereading my post I realize it is a bit confusing. My question is: if all the trains coming from Milano to Domodosolla are full, will people stay on and no seats will become available? I am considering buying a second class ticket from Domodosolla to Brig instead of using my 1st class Swiss Travel Pass. No sure how all this works but I need a particular time to leave Brig in order to meet up with friends. Thanks!

Hello Rpita

From Domodossola to Switzerland or from Switzerland to Domodossola, seat reservation is not mandatory. You can usually travel without a seat. If the train is very crowded, passengers without a seat reservation may be asked to get off and travel on a regional train. From Domodossola to Brig you do not need an additional train ticket if you have the Swiss Travel Pass.

I wish you a nice day.

Kind regards,
