For how long can one rent lockers at Swiss train stations?

score:10

It appears that information is in fact not listed in full on public websites.

So I called them and asked about specifics at the Brig train station:

Generally, the maximum storage duration is 24h
However, you can extend the storage duration via supplementary payments before the 24h runs out, up to a maximum of 72h total
If a 24h period runs out without further payment, the contents will be locked and a red light on the locker should indicate that you need to pay again to access your contents
After the total maximum of 72h runs out, the contents of the locker will be claimed by the baggage office and moved to the lost & found, and you'll have to pick them up there (for a fee, I assume)

Prices and available sizes do vary between locations (source (german)).

In Brig, there's two sizes of lockers (width x height x depth):

Baggage Office

Mon–Fri   07:00 – 18:30
Sat       07:00 – 18:00
Sun       08:00 – 12:00
          13:30 – 18:00

Lost & Found

Mon–Fri   07:00 – 19:00
Sat       07:00 – 18:00
Sun       08:00 – 12:00
          13:30 – 18:00

Note: These opening times only refer to the offices (baggage / lost & found), access times for your locker are usually longer.

I couldn't get exact details for access times to lockers in the Brig station, but this page for lockers in Zürich main station lists them as

Sat–Sun   24h
Mon-Fri   00.30–04.30 closed

so I assume the situation in Brig is at least similar.
