How much does the train from Montreux to Gstaad cost?

"How much is the train ticket from Montreux to Gstaad?" is the first question we get, and the honest answer is that it depends on when you travel and when you book. Fares open months ahead at their lowest level and rise as seats sell; peak days, holidays and the first and last departures of the day sit higher; first class and flexible tickets cost more than a fixed second-class seat. Haqqi Tours offers the current cost for your date within minutes of receiving the form - no estimates, the actual fare.

What we do include in the price we send: the ticket itself in the class you chose, the seat reservation where the rail company requires one, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the electronic ticket and answering questions before and during the journey. There are no hidden extras added at the end.

Cheapest train ticket from Montreux to Gstaad: how to pay less

The cheapest train ticket from Montreux to Gstaad is almost always the one booked earliest for an off-peak departure. Our booking desk applies the same rules on every booking:

• For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more passengers often unlock a lower rate
• Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
• Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are generally the cheapest
• Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business travellers at higher fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, often halves the fare
• Ask about children's, youth and senior fares - most operators on this route discount them

When you send the form, mention if you are flexible. We compare the fares across the day and send the cheapest Montreux to Gstaad train ticket first, then the alternatives.

Classes and what it is like on board the Montreux to Gstaad train

• Quiet coaches and family areas on selected services - just ask when booking
• Bicycles, pushchairs and large luggage accepted within the rail company's rules, which we explain
• Pets are allowed on many services with a small ticket - let us know if one is travelling
