The extra charge may vary from 5 Swiss Franks to 25 Franks. Hotels and restaurants generally display if pets are welcome or not. If your dog wants to have a train ride in, you will need to buy a half second class train ticket for him. This is the rule irrespective of whether you are traveling in the first class or second class.
