What is the Swiss Travel Pass?

The Swiss Travel Pass is an electronic pass that allows you to enjoy unlimited travel on trains, buses and boats in Switzerland over your chosen period of time.

At the following link you can see a map of Switzerland showing the transport and areas of validity included in the Swiss Travel Pass:

Map of Switzerland's trains, buses and boats

Please keep in mind that the pass is not valid for residents of Switzerland and Liechtenstein and that it doesn't allow you to cross the border between Switzerland and another country.

Additional Benefits of the Swiss Travel Pass

Swiss Scenic Trains

Travel on scenic trains around Switzerland is included in the Swiss Travel Pass. You only need to pay for your seat reservation, which should be made at least 3 months before your journey on the following websites:

Swiss Museum Pass

The Swiss Pass also includes the Swiss Museum Pass, a tourist card which gives you free entry to over 500 Swiss museums for a year. Below, you can see the complete list:

Museums included

Mountain Adventures

The pass includes the Rigi, Stoos and Stanserhorn mountain excursions.

You'll also enjoy discounts on other mountain activities.

Other Benefits

Discounts on cable cars, funiculars and mountain trains
Discounts on SBB Swiss Federal Railways' other products

Swiss Travel Pass Validity

The Swiss Travel Pass is valid from the start date at midnight. For example, if you purchase a 4-day pass with a start date of July 24th, its validity will end on 28 July at 5 am. The pass is also valid after the last day until the next morning if you travel overnight. For this, the journey must be completed before 5 am and cannot be extended.

The Swiss Travel Pass is valid for 3, 4, 6, 8 or 15 consecutive days.

How Does it Work?

Using the Swiss Travel Pass is very easy. After making your reservation, you will receive a confirmation email with a QR code, which you can print or carry on your cell phone.

This way, you won't have to queue at train, bus or boat station ticket offices. You'll be free to board any of these public transport services and, if the ticket inspector asks for your ticket, all you have to do is show them your QR code in printed format or on your mobile phone. It's as simple as that!

In the case of cable cars, funiculars and mountain trains, which have a reduced price with the pass, you'll have to show your QR code at the ticket office to get the discounted ticket.

For museums included in the pass, you'll have to show your QR code at the ticket office to get free admission.

Nevertheless, please note that the pass for the museums and the mountain trains will only be valid for the selected days of travel.

Swiss Travel Pass Flex

If you choose this option, your pass will be valid for 3, 4, 6, 8 or 15 non-consecutive days within a month. Therefore, with the Swiss Travel Pass Flex you will have more flexibility in choosing the days you want to travel.

Important! The museum pass integrated with the Swiss Travel Pass Flex is only valid on the selected travel days. This also applies to mountain excursions: the discount of up to 50% is only valid on the selected travel dates and not for a whole month.

Please note that unlike the Swiss Travel Pass, with the Swiss Travel Pass Flex you will need to activate your pass prior to your trip. We'll provide you with simple instructions on how to do this on your booking voucher.

Differences Between Swiss Travel Pass and Swiss Travel Pass Flex

The main differences between the two types of passes are in the validity and activation process:

Validity

Swiss Travel Pass: valid for 3, 4, 6 or 15 consecutive days.
Swiss Travel Pass Flex: valid for 3, 4, 6, 8 or 15 non-consecutive days within a month.

Activation

Swiss Travel Pass: to take advantage of this pass, all you have to do is show the QR that you will receive by email after making your reservation.
Swiss Travel Pass Flex: to enjoy its benefits, you need to activate this pass before your trip. We'll explain how to do this on your booking voucher.
