Winter Swiss Travel Pass Package

Product Description

How to Use

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.

What's a Travel Pass?

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.

 

 

Area of validity?

Please refer to the map below. During the validity period, you can enjoy unlimited travel on Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) trains, buses, and selected lake cruise routes within Switzerland, including panoramic trains. However, the ticket price does not cover seat reservations, meals, or sleeper accommodations. It also includes access to public transportation in approximately 90 towns and cities. Please note: Not all SBB App routes are available for free travel. The SBB App (link) is a highly useful tool for checking schedules during your travels in Switzerland.

Which mountain peaks are included (free to access)?

The following mountain peaks are included in the Swiss Travel Pass: Rigi, Stoos, and Stanserhorn. For Jungfraujoch and Zermatt, additional tickets are required.
