Personal Recommendations
Get a Swiss Travel Pass
Recommended to get the Swiss Travel Pass for the duration of Day 1 to Day 8. You will be able to save on transport fees and will not have to worry if you miss any trains. You will be able to easily board the next train without any reservations.
On almost every train, a train inspector checked my tickets. If you would like to hop onto any trains without any stress, get the Swiss Travel Pass.
Download the Swiss SBB app (a must have)
This is the Swiss army knife to your train journeys. Timings are accurate and the app helps to select the best transfer routes. Rail replacement works are also updated on the app and it will show replacement rail services for any disruptions
Download the AllTrials app (a good to have)
AllTrails has a large database of trails for many hiking, biking, climbing and backpacking route. You can easily search for trails using GPS by criteria such as length, difficulty or location. The app also provides reviews and photos from other users. This app was indispensable for me when I visited the Rhine Falls, Matterhorn and Harder Kulm.
