🚆 Swiss Federal Rail (SBB) Luggage Services
SBB Door-to-Door & Express Luggage Forwarding
The Swiss Federal Railways offers a luggage forwarding option where you can send luggage between stations or from door-to-door. A standard door-to-door service typically costs around CHF 50 for express delivery plus CHF 30 per additional car-free location (e.g., alpine village like Murren), with additional service features (like extended pick-up windows) costing around CHF 15 extra.
Alternatively, standard station-to-station luggage forwarding can cost about CHF 12 per item and is a more budget-friendly option if you’re okay with collecting your luggage at a train station a day or two later.

📌 Notes for Bernese Oberland Hikers
Advance booking is recommended for private luggage services
Not all remote mountain huts or village locations are directly vehicle-accessible — verify drop-off details in advance.
Traveling light makes multi-day hiking routes in the Bernese Oberland infinitely more enjoyable — and these luggage services take the weight off your shoulders (literally!) so you can focus on the views and experiences.
