SWISS RAIL PASSES

2nd Class Seats Swiss rail photoWith just one ticket, the Swiss Travel Pass, you can see the most spectacular scenic wonders, untouched natural beauty and explore a myriad of fascinating and unique museums, all included with one price. From the train station to your hotel, into the city or to a museum, all by public transport on one pass.

The Swiss Pass, as well as the Flexi Pass option, Swiss Saver Pass and the Swiss Youth Pass, allow for unlimited travel on urban public transportation in 41 towns and cities, including free museum admission and discounts on select excursion aerial cables and cog trains. Other passes are available, The Family Card, Transfer Pass, and Switzerland can be included in the Eurail System with a Eurail Pass or multi-county Select Pass. These are available through Rail Europe and other providers, but in fact Switzerland is one of the founding countries of the Eurail pass system, so that Switzerland can be included in multi-country passes from Rail Europe and ACP and other pass sellers. Individual tickets are easy to obtain at rail stations or through seller websites.

What's the difference?

The Swiss Travel Pass allows an option for either a designated amount of continuous days or for a selected number of day within a certain period of time, like 4 days of travel within a month (formerly Flexipass). The SaverPass is for two traveling together. Passes are available in First Class or Second Class. The Youth Pass is a lower cost for under 26 and Second Class only. A Transfer Ticket gets you from a border to a single destination. The FlexiPass version for a chosen number of travel days is probably the most popular for value, though keep in mind that the museums, public transit and discounts are only on the specified day of travel, and not valid on the unused days. The Swiss Travel Pass also includes some special excursions like cruise boats and cable cars, or with discounts. Starting in 2017 the Swiss Travel Pass will include Mt Pilatus for the first time.
