	Switzerland's Bernina Express Train
		You don't need a train pass at all if you plan only limited train use, you can buy individual tickets as you go, but these passes give you a great deal more convenience.
		You can buy the Swiss Pass when you arrive at any major train station (including Geneva or Zürich airports) so you don't need to go to any trouble to get one before you arrive, you just need to show your passport when you buy it (the Swiss Pass is sold only to non-Swiss residents).
		I could do this because I was using a Eurail pass rather than a ticket for one specific route, and I arrived at my destination via a completely different route about 10 minutes later than the route I had planned.

		On the contrary, climbing up to the summit of the airy and elegant Bernina (4049 m) is relatively easy: although there are some difficult and exposed passages, it is less strenuous because the start is from the Marco e Rosa hut located at 3600m.
