The Swiss Travel Pass (Flex, Youth) – Everything You Need

The Swiss Travel Pass is the perfect pass for those who want flexibility on their trip to Switzerland , but do not want to pay the full price on what is one of the most expensive transport systems in Europe.

You can choose if you want 3, 4, 8, or 15 days of travel within a given month. And, which class of travel you wish to use.

With the standard Swiss Travel Pass, you are expected to travel on consecutive days (in a row). If you don’t, you lose those days.

The Swiss Travel Pass Flex allows you to choose which when you want to travel. So, if your trip is not 100% planned or you want to have some flexibility, you can choose when to apply for the pass. You simply use the given day when you book your ticket to travel.

The Swiss Travel Pass (Standard and Flex) also comes with a massive list of other benefits including discounts on mountain trips, free entrance to museums and use of public transport in cities on the days you choose (see more below).

Details, Benefits & Conditions

Benefits of the swiss travel pass & flex.

• Unlimited travel free on the chosen days – train, bus and boat ** See Map Of Valid Travel Areas
• Unlimited travel on city public transport (over 90 cities & urban areas) ** See Map Of Valid Travel Areas
• Free travel on premium trains (such as: Glacier Express, Golden Pass, Bernina Express etc. * Seat reservation required, surcharge applies for that)
• 50% discount on many mountain cablecars and trains (some free, see next point)
• Free mountain excursions to: Pilatus, Rigi & Schynige Platte
• Free access to museums (500 museums)

Traveling With Children

Children can travel free when :

• Between the ages of 6 and 16 , who are accompanied by at least one parent (holding a valid Swiss Pass) with the complimentary Swiss Family Card (available upon request)
• Under the age of 6, who are accompanied by a parent with a valid Swiss ticket

Delivery Of Passes

The Swiss Travel Pass can either be ordered online and delivered per post or courier OR printed at home.

Paper passes that need to be delivered are subject to delivery fees.

Seat Reservations

• In general, seat reservations are not required on regional Swiss trains (although they can be purchased if you wish). Simply enter the train and take any available seat in the class you have purchased.
• Tip: Travel during peak periods (public holidays, school holidays) seat reservations on major lines may be necessary to avoid standing (ask when traveling)
• Reservations are required on special trains such as: Bernina Express, the Chocolate Train, the Glacier Express and the Gotthard Panorama Express. Also required for international trains.

* Seat reservations can be made within 90 days of travel (ie. not a year ahead)

Swiss Travel Pass Prices

The following are the prices for a Swiss Travel Pass for the number of consecutive days you wish to travel in a month, and the class of travel (1st or 2nd) you wish to take. You have the option of traveling for 3, 4, 8, or 15 days in total.

Remember, buying this standard pass means you should be traveling every day. Otherwise, the Swiss Travel Pass Flex below is a better option.

Swiss Travel Pass Adult

The following are the prices for a Swiss Travel Pass for the number of days you wish to travel within a given month, and the class of travel (1st or 2nd) you wish to take. Remember, buying this standard pass means you can choose to travel on whichever day you want. That means it will cost a little bit more, but the flexibility is often worth it, especially if you are staying multiple days in one location and not moving around much.

Swiss Travel Pass Flex Adult

Swiss travel pass flex youth.

* Fares for the Swiss Travel Pass are estimated only due to currency fluctuations. Check current prices when purchasing.

Swiss Half Fare Card

Another option is the Swiss Half Fare Card, which is something locals use to get tickets for half price. The challenge for short-term visitors like yourself is that the cost is rarely worth it.

As of the time of writing (early 2022) the Half Fare Card cost 120 CHF (around 120 USD) for one month. 

It provides you with 50% off all train, bus and boat tickets as well as various discounts on most mountain gondolas.

Swiss Travel Pass 2024: What’s Included & What’s Not (& Is It Worth It)

By Author Jurga

Posted on Last updated: March 25, 2024

When planning a trip to Switzerland, you’ll likely see the Swiss Travel Pass mentioned everywhere.

But what exactly is the Swiss Travel Pass, what does it include, where can you buy it (hint – here ;)), and is it worth it?

We get so many questions from our readers about the Swiss Pass (and Swiss Pass Flex), which discounts it offers, and whether it covers some of the most popular destinations in the Swiss Alps. Many first-time visitors find it a bit confusing and I keep answering the same questions all over again…

So to save all of us some time, here is our complete guide to the Swiss Travel Pass. It should answer all your questions, give you a good overview of what exactly is included (and what is not), and help you decide whether it’s worth getting it for your trip.

What is the Swiss Travel Pass

The Swiss Travel Pass is a ticket for international visitors that includes unlimited travel on public transportation in Switzerland for a selected number of days. You can buy this pass for 3, 4, 6, 8, or 15 days of travel.

All the information is available on the official website of the Swiss Railways (SBB), but apparently, it’s still too confusing for many people (thus, this article).

TIP: You can also find the most important information in a nutshell and purchase the pass on GetYourGuide . We recommend this website for all tickets/tours/passes and we personally use it for all our trips, not just in Europe. It’s very simple to use.

Good to know: Traveling by train is the most convenient way to cover bigger distances in Switzerland and explore many of the nicest places in the country (not just cities, but also mountains). Furthermore, public transportation in Switzerland is very efficient and we sometimes joke that you can set your watch by how punctual the trains are. So for the majority of international visitors, it doesn’t even make sense to consider renting a car, and that’s what makes the Swiss Travel Pass so popular.

Below, you can find our explanation of what is and is not included with the Swiss Travel Pass, and how it differs from the Swiss Travel Pass Flex. Read on!

Swiss Travel Pass vs. Swiss Travel Pass Flex

To make things a bit more confusing, there are two types of Swiss Pass: the regular one and the Flex Pass , which is 15% more expensive.

What’s the difference? Both these passes include exactly the same tickets and offer the same discounts (that differ depending on your age). The main difference is that the flex pass allows you to freely choose on which days you use it within its month-long validity, whereas the regular pass is valid on consecutive days (depending on which validity you choose, 3, 4, 6, 8, or 15 consecutive days).

So, for example, you are visiting Switzerland for 5 days and you plan on traveling by public transport daily during your entire stay. In that case, you can simply get a regular pass for 5 days.

On the other hand, if you are in Switzerland for a longer time, but will be visiting different regions and spending a few days in each before traveling further, then it’s better to get a flexible pass. That way, you can use it only on those days when you will be taking public transportation a lot. Further below, you can find a bit more information about how to use both these passes.

Important to know! This is where it starts to get confusing to foreigners visiting Switzerland for the first time because they think that they will be using public transport every day, also in the mountains. But there is a big difference between let’s say an inter-city train between Zurich and Geneva or a train that brings you to Gornergrat in Zermatt or Jungfraujoch in Berner Oberland.

!!! The majority of gondolas, funiculars, and mountain trains are not part of the Swiss public transport network (and thus not included with the Swiss Travel Pass). However, to make things yet a bit more confusing, there are a couple of exceptions here too. You can find more info below, but first – how much does it cost.

How to use Swiss Travel Pass & Travel Pass Flex

For all passes , you can either print it on a white A4 paper or show an electronic version of the pass on your smartphone or tablet. You can also add it to your Apple Wallet, for example. Since the pass is issued in your name, you might be asked to show your ID as well.

Using the regular Swiss Travel Pass is pretty straightforward since it’s valid for a set number of consecutive days. You’ll simply have to show a printed or electronic version of the pass.

Using the Flex Pass is a bit more complex since you can choose the specific dates on which you will be using it. To avoid misunderstandings, you will have to activate the dates on which you want to use your pass online on this website . It’s important to activate the dates before your first journey, so e.g. you cannot do it when you are already on a train.

You will get all the information and clear instructions when you get the pass, so don’t worry about it too much in advance. Also, you can still adjust your chosen dates as long as you do it before midnight at the start of the day on which you want to use it.

How much does the Swiss Travel Pass cost in 2024?

The price of the Swiss Travel Pass depends on several factors: your age, the number of days, and whether you opt for a regular pass or flex. In addition, you can choose to travel in the 2nd Class or upgrade to 1st Class.

Additional discounts: Children under 6 are free of charge. Children from 6 to 16 travel free when accompanied by a paying parent (you need to order a ticket for them, but it’s free, and you will get the necessary instructions). Youth from 16 to 25 get almost 30% discount.

Here are the prices of the regular pass in Second Class in 2024 for adults:

3 DAYS: 244 CHF. 4 DAYS: 295 CHF. 6 DAYS: 379 CHF. 8 DAYS: 419 CHF. 15 DAYS: 459 CHF.

Good to know: Flex Pass costs 15% more and you’ll have to pay over 55% extra if you opt for First Class tickets.

As you can see, the longer the duration, the cheaper the price that you pay per day. If you just get it for 3 days, it costs you about 81 CHF per day, whereas if you get it for two weeks, it costs you just around 30 CHF per day – a huge difference!

Further below, you can find our observations on whether it’s worth getting the Swiss Travel Pass. But first, let’s take a look at what exactly is included.

What is included with the Swiss Travel Pass

This is what IS INCLUDED with the Swiss Travel Pass:

• Unlimited travel on trains, buses, and boats that belong to the public transport network. So all the inter-city trains as well as trams and buses in more than 90 towns and cities are included. Passenger ferries (not cruises) on Lake Lucerne or the lakes near Interlaken are included as well.
• Unlimited travel on premium panorama trains (however, there might be extra fees for advance seat reservations). These include the famous Bernina Express, Glacier Express, Golden Pass Line, and a few other panoramic train routes.
• Free entry to over 500 museums in Switzerland . You can find a complete list of all the museums here .
• Free travel on the following mountain excursions : Mt Rigi, Stanserhorn, and Stoos. All of these are located close to Lucerne and are among our top recommendations for the best day trips from Lucerne .
• Up to 50% discount on mountain excursions all over Switzerland. So you get a big discount on the majority of the cable cars, mountain trains, funiculars, etc. There are also discounts on certain lake cruises and similar.

Below, you can find a bit more info about what is not included with the Swiss Pass (but where you get a discount).

What is not included (but gives you a discount)

Because I get this question almost daily, here is once again an explanation of what IS NOT INCLUDED with the Swiss Travel Pass.

Mountain excursions are not included with the Swiss Travel Pass (with the exception of Mt Rigi, Stanserhorn, and Stoos as mentioned above), but you do get a discount on most of them. Under ‘mountain excursions’ they mean cable cars, gondolas, funiculars, cogwheel trains, trains to the mountain peaks, etc.

Here are a few examples of the most popular mountain excursions that our readers ask about and where the Swiss Pass does not include free travel, but gives you a discount:

• Grindelwald-First cable car – 50% discount.
• Mt Pilatus cable car and/or cogwheel train – 50% discount.
• Mt Titlis gondolas – 50% discount.
• Schynige Platte railway – 50% discount.
• Oeschinensee cable car – 50% discount.
• Gornergrat railway and Matterhorn Glacier Paradise gondolas – 50% discount.
• Jungfraujoch – about 25% discount. Or about 40% if you only go to Kleine Scheidegg.

There are many other destinations in the Swiss Alps where you get similar discounts with the Swiss Travel Pass.

Also, most lake sightseeing cruises are not included, whereas regular, scheduled passenger ferries are included with the Swiss Travel Pass. So if you are taking a ferry that stops in various places, your pass will be valid, but if you want to take a scenic cruise on e.g. Lake Geneva or Lake Lucerne, you’ll have to pay for it.

Is the Swiss Travel Pass worth it?

One of the most frequently asked questions by our readers is whether it’s worth getting the Swiss Travel Pass. My answer is always the same – it depends. Here are a few examples:

If you are traveling around Switzerland for a longer time (6-10 days or more) and plan on visiting many different areas all over the country using public transportation, then the Swiss Travel Pass is definitely worth it. The pass gives even better value if you are traveling with children.

If, however, you are only coming for a few days, renting a car, and/or planning on staying in one region in the mountains (where this pass only gives you a discount and not free travel), then it’s usually not worth it. In that case, look for a regional card of the area that you are visiting.

Most likely, your trip includes a mix of destinations that you only visit for a day as well as others where you stay for several days. In that case, you can look up the prices of all the mountain excursions that you are planning to do, see how big the discount is with the Swiss Travel Pass, add the price of the pass itself, and then compare that versus the prices of individual tickets of all the transportation and places you plan to visit. (Good luck with the math! It’s doable, but you’ll need a lot of time and patience).

In most cases, the Swiss Travel Pass is worth it, especially if you are traveling for at least 6-8 days and are visiting multiple destinations in Switzerland. Plus, it saves you lots of time, research, and math. Another advantage is that you can just take the next suitable train, boat, etc. without having to waste time looking for tickets.

Furthermore, you can always opt for a Swiss Pass Flex that you only use on travel-intensive days. And then get a regional card to use on the other days, when you are staying in one area. The longer you stay in one place (typically, 3-4 days or longer), the better value you get with the regional cards.

Where can you buy the Swiss Travel Pass?

You can buy the Swiss Travel Pass online, at every major railway station in Switzerland (including Zurich or Geneva airports), and also at some tourist offices in the main cities.

We recommend getting it online in advance as it will save you time and stress (you’ll have enough to think about upon arrival as it is).

You can get the Swiss Pass on the official SBB website , but also via various online retailers, such as our GetYourGuide as mentioned before (our personal favorite one-stop shop for all tickets). The price is normally exactly the same everywhere and you get the same discounts for kids, etc.

At the moment of writing, GetYourGuide allows you to cancel for free up to 3 days in advance (and it’s really easy to cancel or amend your tickets). You can buy a regular Swiss Travel Pass here and a Swiss Travel Pass Flex – here .

In any case, it’s best to buy your tickets at least a few days before your trip. When you purchase a pass, you will receive detailed instructions on how to use it (or how to activate the individual travel dates if you opt for the Flexi Pass).

So, this is our guide to the Swiss Travel Pass. I hope that it answers all your questions and helps you decide whether it’s worth it for your trip.

TIP: If you are planning your itinerary in Switzerland, check out our Switzerland travel page . It contains an overview of all our travel guides for a wide variety of destinations all over the country. We live in Belgium and Switzerland is just a half-day drive from home. So we visit Switzerland at least a few times a year – in summer as well as in winter. On our blog, you’ll find many detailed guides for all of our favorite places.

Hi Jurga My wife and I will be traveling to Swizerland and planning to go thru several places from Zurich to Lucerne - Interlaken -Lauterbrunnen-Murren-Wengen-Gimmewald-Gridelwald and train to Milan.

Is the Swiss Pass a good option getting around for 10 days?

Thursday 4th of April 2024

@Jurga, Jurga, thank you very much for your response.

One more question: I read that the Bernese Oberalnd Pass better to use in my situation. What do you recommend between the two? Thank you.

Hi Robert, yes, if you are staying for 10 days and plan on using public transportation daily, a Swiss Pass definitely a good idea.

Sunday 24th of March 2024

Thanks. Good information. One question: If I buy a flex pass for, say, 6 days, but will be in Switzerland for 9 days and 8 nights, is the pass good for local busses, say in Bern or Zurich, on days I am not traveling between regions, without it counting as a full day of use?

Monday 25th of March 2024

@Jurga, thanks for the helpful answer. We'll buy two 8 day passes. Only 20 Francs more than the 6 day flex pass. Cheers!

Hi Bruce, I'm afraid that any use will count for that day (also museums, buses, etc.). With the flex pass, you will have to activate the dates on which you are using it online (you'll get the instructions when you get the pass) and if someone checks it on the day you didn't activate it for, you may get a fine. It might be simpler/cheaper to buy a local ticket if you need it for just one or two short rides on those days and keep your Swiss Pass for the days when you embark on the much more expensive journeys.

Sunday 3rd of March 2024

Thank you Jurga, for your Travel Pass explained, you saved my sanity! The official sites are good but not usually for a first-time visitor. Like how you explained one should board the N1 trolley and not the bus from Lucerne railway station to get to Kriens. Additionally, your guides to Lucerne and the various day trips from the picturesque city are very insightful. I am now confident with my decision to take the acclaim Swiss public transportation from Geneva to Lucerne in the spring for a girls' trip. Fingers crossed ;)

Switzerland Itinerary with Swiss Travel Pass (by Train )

July 8, 2023

The Ultimate Switzerland Itinerary with Swiss Travel Pass. 

As the train weaves its way into the Swiss Alps, the view from the window pretty much changes from rolling hills carpeted with forests and vineyards to snow-capped peaks peeping out in the distance, chocolate box houses laden with flowers to glistening lakes and glacier-fed streams. Every nook and corner of this country makes you feel like you’ve just stepped into a pretty postcard.

There is so much to take in – be it the nature trails, hiking trails, or breathtaking panoramic views as the train maneuvers from one idyllic Swiss village to another.

While planning our trip to Switzerland we were overwhelmed with so many options; we had a tough time finalizing our itinerary as there were too many places we wanted to add to our list.

To help you get started, we’ve listed our itinerary recommendations,  when and where to go in Switzerland. You can spend months exploring pretty little Swiss villages, taking detours, crossing cute bridges, chasing waterfalls, or just stumbling upon Swiss villages that are only accessible by cable cars.

Since we were in Switzerland for 11 days, we opted for the Swiss Travel Pass for 8 days for unlimited travel in Switzerland.

Swiss Travel Pass is one of the most convenient ways to travel the length and breadth of the country. You don’t have to worry about renting a car, car parking fees, insurance, and fuel charges.

BENEFITS OF A SWISS TRAVEL PASS

The entire country is well-connected by public transportation.

The Swiss Travel Pass covers all trains, buses, and boat transfers in Switzerland.

It also covers public transportation, museum visits, and trains to/from Liechtenstein ( neighboring country.

You can just hop in and out of any regional train, you don’t need to book anything in advance. But make sure, you see the availability and timings of trains before being adventurous 😉

For the timing of the trains, you can download the SBB app and Swiss Travel Guide app. 

Other Attractions entirely covered by the Swiss Travel Pass –

The train route to Wengen and Grindelwald are entirely covered. Post that you get 25% discount on the ticket to the Top of Europe – Jungfrau.

  Golden Pass line ( Lucerne <-> Interlaken <-> Montreux ) is entirely covered by Swiss Travel Pass. It is advisable to reserve seats if you want to experience the best view of the Alps. The train journey can be broken into three legs –

You can visit car-free villages like Zermatt, Murren, and Wengen.

Uetliberg and Rhine Falls from Zurich.

Chillon Castle in Montreux

Mount Stanserhorn from Lucerne ( 15 minutes train ride). It has the first open-air cableway in Switzerland.

Switzerland is utterly expensive if you factor in the cost of transportation, accommodation, mountain excursion tickets, food expenses as well as the exchange rates. If you are planning to visit on a shoestring budget, you might definitely struggle. Just to give you a rough idea.

Coffee – 3-5 CHF

Burger King Veg Meal – 8-9 CHF

Decent meal at a fancy restaurant for two – 25-50 CHF

Bottle of water – 2-4 CHF

The best thing you can do is to visit supermarkets like COOP, MIGROS , and LIDL and stock up on food, snacks, and water for your journey.

BEST TIME TO VISIT

Switzerland is a year-round destination but the landscape varies drastically with every season. So, pick and plan based on the season else you will be disappointed. 

Best Time to Visit – May End to October

Busiest Months – July & August ( Long days with sunsets around 21:00, rolling meadows, snow-free trails )

Ski Season – Dec-March ( Ski towns like Zermatt, Davos, Gstaad, Murren, Wengen, and St. Moritz are super expensive and crowded)

Note – From early April to mid-May you might find some ski towns completely dead and shops/hotels closed for the spring break. During this time the prices of hotels drop too and the weather is also unpredictable.

CURRENCY – Swiss Franc but Euro is also accepted in almost all places.

TOURIST VISA – You need a valid Schengen Visa.

Few things to consider before planning your Swiss Itinerary

• Length of Stay
• Important:  Season / Month you are traveling
• Places you want to see and taking their geographic proximity from each other into account.
• Itinerary ( Things to do & Places To Visit )
• Public Transportation vs Renting a Car
• Accommodation Option – ( Hotels vs Airbnb vs Chalets )

Our Switzerland Itinerary with Swiss Travel Pass

Here we share our 11 days Switzerland itinerary with a Swiss Travel Pass for 8 days. We used our pass from Day 4 to Day 11. 

Day  1 – Fly into Zurich

Day 2 – Boarded the train to St. Moritz via Chur from Zurich.

Day 3 – Explored the beautiful town of St. Moritz and visit the famous Engadin mountains.

Day 4 – Boarded the famous Glacier Express from St. Moritz to Zermatt ( You can board the glacier express from other towns as well as like Chur, Brig, Andermatt, Visp, and Zermatt )

Day 5 – Explore the beautiful town of Zermatt . ( Since the weather was not favorable and it was raining we headed to Brig and visited the Spa town – of Leukerbad . )

Day 6 – Boarded the train to Interlaken, explored Interlaken, and visited the nearby beautiful town – Iseltwald

Day 7 – Explored the Jungfrau Region – Murren, Gimmelwald and Schiltorn Summit.

Day 8 – Explored Wengen and Lauterbrunnen. You can also visit Top of Europe- Jungfrau and return via Grindelwald to Interlaken.

Day 9 – Boarded the famous Golden Pass line that connects Lucern via Interlaken to Montreux. (We boarded the train from Interlaken to Lucerne. ( Lucern to Interlaken and Montreux to Zweisimmen is touted as one of the most scenic train rides ). We highly recommend stopping at the beautiful Swiss town of Brienz and doing a boat tour and also visiting Giessbach falls . If you have time also do visit the beautiful village of Lungern . The glistening lake of Lungernersee is worth the stop.

Day 10 – Explore Lucerne in the first half and take a train to Mt. Titlis/ Rigi /Pilatus . ( The mountain excursion to Rigi is completely covered by a Swiss Travel pass, so we opted to go to Rigi but it entirely depends on you.)

Day 11 – Back to Zurich/ fly back home. Do visit Rhine Falls if you have more time at hand, make the best use of the Swiss travel pass, and tick off the neighboring country — Liechtenstein from your list.

( PS: If you are not interested in visiting Ski towns, you can skip and instead include Montreux, Gstaad, Geneva, Bern, and Basel to your itinerary . )

Day 1-  Fly into ZURICH

Zurich was our jumping-off point to the pretty Ski town of St. Moritz. We visited the old town of Zurich on our very first day. Unfortunately, the moment we arrived, it started pouring and we could not explore much.

After arriving in Zurich, if you have time on hand, we recommend that you take a day or two to explore the beautiful town of Zurich and discover all that awaits you before embarking on your Swiss sojourn.

Things To Do in Zurich

• Explore the old town ( Fraumünster, Swiss National Museum, Grossmünster )

Day 2-3:  St. Moritz

Nestled within a picturesque setting in the Swiss Alps. The famous ski town is home to some of the best luxury resorts in Europe and is quite popular among skiers.

We boarded the train from Zurich Central Station to St. Moritz. We had to change our train in Chur. The train ride from Chur to St. Moritz was one of the most scenic routes as it passes over viaducts and through helical tunnels. We highly recommend doing this train journey during winter. The train line from Thusis to St. Moritz has a UNESCO world heritage status.

We arrived in St. Moritz around noon and had the entire day to ourselves. We walked around the village, went to a spa, and pretty much did nothing on our first day. You can head to the Engadin mountains and take in the 360 degrees panoramic views while sipping some beer.

Things To Do in St. Moritz

• Take In The View: Head to Muottas Muragl, Corviglia, Corvatsch . If you don’t ski, there are restaurants to sit and eat at while enjoying the mountainous backdrop. There are also hiking trails.
• Activities like Hiking, Skiing, Toboggan, Paragliding, Snowboarding, Cresta run, Ice Hockey
• Pamper yourselves at  Ovaverva Spa
• Visit Segantini Museum

Zermatt is one of the countless charming villages in the Swiss Alps and is famous for the one and only the famous Matterhorn mountain.

Interlaken is a perfect base to explore the Jungfrau region and the Geneva area.

We stayed at Wilderswil in Interlaken.

Jungfrau region is a place where you want to slow down, pause, or linger at points of interest. If you want to cover more grounds, we would suggest starting early as there is much to see and chances of getting distracted and spending way too much time in one place are guaranteed.

Lauterbrunnen ( 15 minutes train ride from Interlaken )

Note: To Visit Piz Gloria you have the option to take a cable car  from Stechelberg which is just 10 minutes away from the Trummelbach waterfall. You can do the entire circle in a day – Once you get out of the station, board the bus for Trummelbach waterfall, visit Trummelbach waterfall, board the bus to Stechelberg, buy a ticket for Piz Gloria, you can stop at Gimmelwald , Birg, and on your way back, get down at Murren and walk to the train station. It will hardly take 10 minutes to cross the village and reach the train station. Take a train & cable car from Grütschalp back to Lauterbrunnen.

Option 2: From Lauterbrunnen, you can take the cableway to Grütschalp. Then change to the narrow gauge train to Mürren the train station in the north of the village.

I would love to visit Switzerland, such beautiful views from the train journey. Love your pics!

May 16, 2018 at 12:25 pm

beautiful pics

May 16, 2018 at 2:56 pm

truly awesome post sharing

May 18, 2018 at 1:59 am

Your photography is absolutely stunning. I love the clarity and colors of that you shoot. Fantastic. Traveling Switzerland by train seems like an amazing option. The views (and captures) you had from the track on the high passes were beautiful.

May 18, 2018 at 7:19 am

Switzerland 🇨🇭 you can’t beat the beauty of this country. The details you have provided will help any traveller plan their visit. The visuals compliment the blog as well. Thanks for sharing such details The travel pass is a great tip for Switzerland travellers

May 18, 2018 at 1:23 pm

I am always happy to read a good guide to Switzerland because I can’t recommend it enough to everyone…although it is insanely expensive! The Golden pass and using the public transportation is an excellent way to travel in Switzerland! But I personally got very bored on the Glacier express 😜 but I know that many would love it!

May 18, 2018 at 5:12 pm

Done bookmarking this post! It is a dream to visit Switzerland and reading a good guide just makes me more excited. We will definitely make sure to try traveling by train.

May 19, 2018 at 1:15 pm

Your post made me nostalgic and reminded me of our stay in Swiss for 8 years. Swiss is surely a paradise on earth and you guys have clicked stunningly beautiful pictures. Zermatt, Muerren, and Wengen – all these car-free zones are some of my favorite places. We lived in Zurich and each and every inch of that place has been filled with good and sweet memories. Interlaken trips were like a day picnic for us. I agree with you that the most scenic train route is from Chur to St. Moritz, that we did in the initial year during winter. But nothing can beat Swiss by roads. We have driven on all the scenic routes, countryside, and small and beautiful towns and villages. Adored seeing this beautiful place through your lens. You both complement each other so beautifully. Thanks a lot for sharing this post with us.

May 19, 2018 at 2:52 pm

What a great idea to travel by train and see all those different locations! I have not even heard about the Swiss Travel Pass before, but it seems like the best thing to use in order to get around. We were thinking about going to Switzerland next year but were unsure yet about how to manage logistics, so this blogpost has helped a big deal! Spending time in Interlaken makes sense since there seem to be lots of great places around. Thanks for sharing this!

May 20, 2018 at 11:28 pm

Awesome awesome trip it is! I’m yet to head the real Swiz (coz it was so sunny in Basel that I wouldn’t consider it Swiz!). Thanks for the tip about the fantastic trains of Swiz. Good to know that not only it covers travel but also gives discounts on various sites.

May 21, 2018 at 7:08 am

Those Views are just breathtaking and I have to say your pictures are just mind blowing loved them! I have to be honest I am not a fan of Winter we don’t get snow where I come from but If I ever get the chance to experience a real Winter I would love to go to Switzerland!

May 23, 2018 at 2:24 pm

Amazing photos! I always wanted to go by train in Switzerland. I’ll bookmark your post for later.

May 23, 2018 at 6:23 pm

Yaaass!! I love purchasing passes like the Swiss Travel Pass! The cost differential makes all the difference, and it gets you out and doing things that you normally won’t consider or didn’t know about. I’ve been dreaming of Switzerland lately, so I might just need to start saving up for the big 15 day pass. Grindelwald has been on my bucket list for ages!

May 24, 2018 at 5:00 am

Oh wow your photos are beautiful and you really managed to make the most of your 11 days! I’m British so don’t need a visa for Switzerland, and it’s pretty close and accessible to me but somehow I still haven’t visited. This post has certainly given me the push I need to finally get to looking for flights (except not for ski season, I hate snow haha)

May 25, 2018 at 8:11 pm

Switzerland is bestowed with such a hypnotic beauty. The panoramic views are to die for! Thanks for the detailed information about the country as well as the Swiss pass guide. I’m saving this post for future reference. Switzerland has been on my bucket list for so long. Your pictures are awesome and perfectly justify the beauty of the place. I simply can’t take my eyes off them.

May 26, 2018 at 1:51 am

Those views are amazing and what a very informative post, I am planning a trip to Switzerland this year and I have noted your tips and saved your page. The great thing about this is I don’t need a visa as I am from the UK.

May 26, 2018 at 11:43 pm

This sounds amazing! I’ve only been to Switzerland once and didn’t take advantage of the Swiss pass, but I really want to go back and use the pass to see some mew places! Interlaken in particular has been on my list for a long time. I might be going back to Switzerland in September, so I’ll definitely be looking into this!

May 28, 2018 at 3:15 pm

Very nice blog and loved your pics. Wanted your advice to plan a trip for 3 days. We are planning to go to Lucern from Milan and send the next 3 days there. since we don’t have much time in hand, what are things we should include in our itiniery and could be easily doable. We are travelling in September.

June 4, 2018 at 5:57 am

What a great blog sir 😊 शुभकामनाएं

June 4, 2018 at 9:11 pm

Great tips for planning a trip to Switzerland. One of the things I really want to do in Switzerland is some hiking and see all those mountain villages. However, using the travel pass does sound like a very convenient and relatively economical way of getting around. St Moritz looks like a stunning place to visit.

June 4, 2018 at 11:39 pm

I love train travel! It’s so civilized and relaxed and a great way to enjoy the scenery. And where could there be better scenery than Switzerland? Beautiful!

June 4, 2018 at 11:42 pm

What a great pass to have and I can’t believe that kids under 16 travel for free everywhere in Switzerland on that pass? That is such good value. Your itinerary looks amazing and so do the photos. Switzerland is so picturesque and definitely on my bucket list for the future. Bookmarked for the itinerary!

June 5, 2018 at 3:50 am

I love how beautifully colour coordinated the two of you are! Really sweet, my husband would’ve never agreed to do that LOL. Your pictures are amazing, and I realise that although renting a car in Switzerland was a fantastic idea, it meant that we missed out on some beautiful train journeys! Also, we did not make it to St Moritz and Matterhorn and those were my two big misses, we went the other way (Lucern, Geneva, Chamonix) but I always regretted missing these two places. I guess it means I need to go back 😉

June 5, 2018 at 5:43 am

Your post revived my Swiss trip and I loved Switzerland through rail trip. Glacier Express goes through scenic route and as this train has long and wide windows, the views from train are amazing. Zermatt also looks very beautiful and worth visiting.

June 5, 2018 at 1:28 pm

This is an excellent guide to train travel in Switzerland. The Glacier Express is just incredible, and it’s great to know how many car-free towns I can visit using this pass. Switzerland is very expensive, so I would really invest in this to save for my dinner!

June 5, 2018 at 6:31 pm

Oh wow. The photos are amazing and the price isn’t as bad as I imagined. That said, I think I would be bankrupt if I spent 15 days in Switzerland so I might have to opt for one of the shorter options and visit Zermatt and other cute towns.

June 6, 2018 at 9:08 am

I have visited Switzerland during summer and it was utterly gorgeous. You post makes me want to plan a trip during winters, it looks completely different and gorgeous. Yet to explore Zermatt and St. Moritz, would love to visit when these places are completely covered in snow.

June 12, 2018 at 12:35 pm

This is awesome.You captured the beauty of swiss during winters and Loved it its helpful post for planning travel to switzerland.

June 20, 2018 at 4:11 pm

I stayed in a beautiful village called Engelberg when i visited Switzerland. It’s just an hour drive from Lucerne and the quaint little village was everything a person dreams about Switzerland.

A great and detailed itinerary indeed… Cheers

June 22, 2018 at 7:25 pm

This was fantastic! I love that you included a budget to help determine whether the Swiss Travel Pass was worth it financially as well. I’m a budget traveler so that’s really important to me. Your photos are also spectacular so I’m dying to head to the Alps ASAP! And the train ride would be the best way to explore the Alps. Great post!

July 26, 2018 at 5:44 am

very lovely place…. i am loving this place….

July 31, 2018 at 12:15 pm

Well written, extremely helpful and awesome pictures. Only question is how did you covered the itinerary with a 8 day pass, i.e Day 2 to Day 9 or ??. It appears that you have used your pass even on Day 10 to visit Mount Rigi!!

July 31, 2018 at 1:01 pm

We used the Swiss Travel pass from Day 3 to Day 10 🙂

There are several panorama trains in Switzerland. These include the Bernina Express, the Glacier Express or the Golden Pass Line. Since the Swiss Travel Pass is valid on these trains, you can take the following route, for example. From Lucerne you take the Golden Pass Line to Montreux. From Montreux the "normal" train takes you via Visp to Zermatt. In Zermatt you board the Glacier Express and travel to St. Moritz in the Engadine. If you want to add more panorama trains, you can take the Bernina Express to Lugano. The Gotthard Panorama Express departs from Lugano and returns to Lucerne For this trip we recommend you to plan at least one week. The Swiss Travel Pass includes these routes, but you have to book a seat reservation online or at the ticket office

On the way you can enjoy a magnificent view of the mountain peaks of the Bernese Alps, such as the Niesen or the Stockhorn. On the way you can make a stop at the Beatus Caves.
• Into the city with the Swiss Travel Pass

These are just a few suggestions on how you can organize your trip with the Swiss Travel Pass. But they give you an idea of what is possible. So let your creativity run free when planning your trip. In our Travel Guide you will find more inspiration, which destinations could be possible for you

• Hiking with the Swiss Travel Pass

Switzerland is an absolute hiker's paradise. In this travel guide we have picked out 53 hikes for you

However, the starting and ending points of many hiking routes are somewhat remote and often not accessible by train. Good that there are post buses. These yellow buses are especially widespread in peripheral regions and are known for providing access to even the most remote villages. With the Swiss Travel Pass you have access to all postbus lines in Switzerland

So you can easily travel to and from your next hike by public transport. Whether you go hiking in one of the 19 nature parks of Switzerland , the national park, in Ticino or in the Jura, it doesn't matter. The Swiss Travel Pass helps you get where you want to go.

• Is it worth buying the Swiss Travel Pass?

The Swiss Travel Pass is extremely good value for money. The offer you can use with this great ticket is incredibly extensive in the dense transport network of Switzerland. If used frequently, the Swiss Travel Pass will quickly pay for itself and let you enjoy the breathtaking Swiss landscape at a comparatively low price

With the pass also comes flexibility and extra time. You can board any bus, train, streetcar and most boats without having to buy a ticket. So if you spontaneously want to stay a little longer in one place or have to choose another destination at short notice due to the weather, the Swiss Travel Pass makes this possible. You also get discounts on the cable cars that access the numerous mountain peaks in Switzerland

Swiss Activities Tip: The price per day is reduced for longer durations calculated down to the single day. To make the shorter pass worthwhile for 3 or 4 days, you need to use it for a higher value than if you are traveling for 6, 8 or even 15 days.

In the following cases the Swiss Travel Pass is worthwhile for you:

• You have your main residence outside of Switzerland. (If you live in Switzerland, these Travel and Tourist Passes might be interesting for you)
• You plan to visit several regions in Switzerland and travel longer distances by public transport.
• You plan to take one or more trips by boat or panoramic train. This includes, by the way, the world famous Glacier Express
• You want to visit museums, castles, chocolate factories or other sights from this list during your stay.
• You prefer the freedom of not having to worry about buying the right ticket and just being able to get on any train or bus.

Is the SBB Saver Day Pass an alternative to the Swiss Travel Pass?

With the SBB Saver Day Pass , you can travel throughout Switzerland without restrictions and use all means of public transport for as little as CHF 29. The earlier you book, the higher your chances of benefiting from attractive discounts. It can actually be an alternative to the Swiss Travel Pass if you know your travel dates early enough.

The SBB Saver Day Pass is bound to a fixed date and cannot be cancelled. So you give up your flexibility to a certain extent, but you can save money. You can buy these tickets up to 6 months in advance. They are valid on the selected day in the entire network of public transport in Switzerland (GA area). This way you travel freely throughout the country by boat, bus, streetcar, post bus and train during one day, until 5:00 am the following day.

• How much does the SBB Saver Day Pass cost?

You can find the minimum prices of this ticket in the table. When the cheapest prices are sold out, it increases to the next cheapest price.

• When is it more worthwhile to buy SBB Saver Day Pass than the Swiss Travel Pass?

The following table helps you to decide up to which price a SBB Saver Day Pass is cheaper than the Swiss Travel Pass (STP). The calculation was based on the prices in 2nd class without Swiss Half Fare Card. So if you find your required number of saver day tickets at an average price that is lower than the values in the table, it is not worth buying the Swiss Travel Pass (Flex).

So you see, the longer you are in Switzerland, the more worthwhile a Swiss Travel Pass is. However, if you want to use public transport between 3 and 6 days, buying SBB Saver Day Passes can be cheaper.

• Swiss Activities Conclusion about the Swiss Travel Pass

As you can see, the Swiss Travel Pass is ideal for people who want to do and experience a lot while traveling in Switzerland. Basically, the Swiss Travel Pass is a great option for discovering Switzerland and making your trip a destination. With all its included services, it is your ideal companion on your trip and can help you save money in Switzerland .

Only you can decide if the Swiss Travel Pass is worth it. If you are not quite sure whether you want to buy it or not, we recommend a rough calculation. Make a rough plan of where you want to travel and use the timetable function on the SBB website to estimate the prices for your routes.

This will give you a good feel for whether the pass is worth it for you in combination with a visit to a museum or two.

As a final tip, we can give you the following: With an all-inclusive ticket in your pocket, you're more likely to discover more of Switzerland. Especially if you are price-conscious and often calculate the costs in your head, a ticket that includes everything is absolutely worth its weight in gold. You can make it your challenge to explore as much of Switzerland as possible and get the most out of your Swiss Travel Pass. After all, you paid for it.
