As a swiss citizen, I have never ever "booked" a train. There are (expect some international trains) no seatreservations either. You just go to the station, buy a ticket (either at the counter or ticketmachine) and jump on any train. There is only one train-company, one pricing and trains run very frequently (every 30min between main-cities, but at least every hour).

There might so some special arrangements, if you combine it with tickets from Paris/London etc. but for domestic travel it's supersimple and easy.

I think what we're all looking at is the 'Supersaver' tickets, they're 20chf, instead of 40chf

Well, then you have to be patient. The train-company's homepage (www.sbb.ch) says the following re supersaver-tickets:

• Supersaver tickets may be purchased no more than 14 days before the desired date of travel.
