An early start saw me arrive at Zurich HB (Central Station) for my 7.05am train to Oberalpass. I had booked online a few months earlier so was not sure how today would pan out. Booking my seat on the SBB (Swiss Rail) website was a fairly simple process however I also had to reserve a place for my bike on the first two of my four leg journey, and a bike day pass for the remaining two sectors. This was a bit more complicated as the website didn't make this process easy. You can travel by train to Oberalpass via either Chur or Andermatt. Both are similar in timings however as I would be riding through Chur on my route I thought I'd see other parts of Switzerland on the train ride so via Andermatt it was. I thought 7am on a Sunday morning was smart. It would be quiet, more room on the trains, and perhaps a kindly conductor would let my velo on if I completely screwed up with my Swiss Rail ticket lottery and had booked nothin...
