Hi, I will by a interrail one country Pass to Switzerland ( 3days in 30days, and am think of visiting geneve, sion and zurich.
Do you know if besides de 75 € pass do I have to pay anything more like supplements ? How do I assure that I will have a sit on the train ?
Trains :
Geneve -> Sion
Sion -> Zurich
Zurich -> Geneve
Sorry my bad english
Thank you

in majority of trains in Switzerland you do not need reservation so you should not pay more than for IR pass.
there are lots of trains and when I was there I did not have any problems with a seat so do not worry.
moreover the travel between the cities does not take to much time :)

Thank you hetman.
I can not change Sion or Geneva, but a trip to zurich is not yet clear cut, is there a better city to visit for full three days in September?

if you like Queen you should go to Montreux (near Lausanne). it's nice town to take a rest. you can go by boat from Montreux to Geneva(I'm not sure but there should be some discount for IR holders).
also i.e. Chur(near Zurich) I like but it's small town like Montreux so for me it's not enough city for spend too much time.
May be Bern? You have to decide :)

Hi!
If you have time, you could go via some nice mountain railways from Sion to Zürich:
Sion - Brig - Goppenstein - Spiez - Interlaken - Meiringen - Luzern - Zürich :)
No extra fees to be paid. Also for all other routes no extra reservation required.

Yes, the Swiss Pass. :) It is similar to InterRail but includes other modes of transport than train as well.

Maybe this is a stupid question but i am a newbie:
If i can go to a train without reservation of seat, how do i know if the train is not full, with no seats available ?

Hi.
If travelling alone, you will always find a seat. Otherwise just sit down on the floor in a comfortable corner. :)
But trains only really get full at peak times like Friday and Sunday afternoon and evening or when school holidays in a country starts... Christmas, Easter weekend and so on.
Relax.
Peter :)
