Sometimes things get left behind on the train. In such cases, the Lost Property Service will help you get your personal belongings back.
You can report lost property via the internet, by telephone, or at any ticket office. A reclaim fee will be charged if your items are found. Lost property can then be picked up at a staffed station. Reporting a loss via the internet costs you nothing. If you report a loss to the SBB Contact Center on 0848 44 66 88 (CHF 0.08/min. from Swiss landlines) or at a ticket counter, you will be charged CHF 15.00 for this service.
