Graubunden Pass

In Switzerland, the public transportation system operates on a proof-of-payment basis. Most platforms do not have gates, and ticket checks are conducted on board. When the conductor comes to check tickets while you're seated, you can simply show the QR code on your phone.

European train tickets are divided into "tickets" and "seat reservations." Holding a travel pass is considered as having the "ticket." For most routes in Switzerland, seat reservations are not required; however, mandatory reservations are needed for scenic trains.

Origin of the Name “Graubünden”

• The German name "Graubünden" means “Gray Leagues,” referring to three historical regional alliances that shaped the canton in the 14th century. These three eventually merged in 1471 to form the Three Leagues (Drei Bünde) :
  1. The Grey League (Grauer Bund, 1367) :
     Made up of free farmers from Upper Engadine and Davos. Its grey flag gave the league its name.
  2. League of the Ten Jurisdictions (Zehngerichtebund, 1436) :
     Formed around Chur by nobles and local citizens.
  3. The League of the House of God (Gotteshausbund, 1367) :
     Centered on territories ruled by the Bishop of Chur, with strong Catholic ties.
  4. These leagues later joined the Swiss Confederation in 1803 and became the modern-day Canton of Graubünden.

• Names in Other Languages :
