Hi all

Travelling from Australia to Switzerland in the coming months. I’ll be travelling on the Glacier Express from St Moritz to Visp.
From there, on the same day, it looks like I’ll take train from Visp to Spiez, Spiez to Interlaken Ost, and Interlaken Ost to Grindalwald.

I’ve researched, it appears the Saver Day Pass is permitted for the Glacier Express. What about Spiez, Interlaken and Grindalwald? Are they valid areas of validity in the pass?

Hello Fiona1

The Saver Day Pass is valid and covering your entire journey. See the validity map for the Saver Day Pass here: https://www.sbb.ch/content/dam/internet/sbb/en/abos-billette/abonnemente/Geltungsbereichskarte.pdf.sbbdownload.pdf

Kindly note, you are intending to visit Grindelwald (spelling).

Keep in mind that it will be a long travel day. You can find the schedule on www.sbb.ch/en

I wish you a good travel.

Kind regards,
Roland

Yes, it’s going to be a big day. Because it’s such a big journey, I’m thinking of taking advantage of the SBB luggage service. I can drop it in Tirano and then pick up from Grindelwald 2 days later (taking the Berina to St Moritz), then next day Glacier Express. Is the luggage service reliable - therefore this is a good idea?

AuroraD Thank you all.

Sorry to have to ask another question, but when I try to prebook the Luggage (sbb.ch) station to station, Tirano doesn’t come up as an option. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong.

Am I okay to just turn up at the station or is it best to pre-book? If I prebook - what fields do I add in for Tirano train station and Grindelwald train station?

Hi Fiona1

Tirano station is not a Swiss SBB station, if I’m not mistaken, it is represented by colleagues from RhB (Rhaetian Railway).
I advise you to contact them directly (Railservice - Rhaetian Railway RhB).

Thank you for your understanding.

Kinde regards
