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.
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.
How does it work?
Using the Swiss Travel Pass is very easy. After making your booking, you'll receive a confirmation email with a QR code, which you can print out or carry on your mobile 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.
The Swiss Family Card
Thanks to the Swiss Family Card, children under 16 can travel free of charge on Swiss transport if accompanied by at least one parent, who must carry the Swiss Travel Pass. No child may travel free of charge with an adult other than a parent.
Only a maximum of 5 children under 16 are allowed per Swiss Travel Pass booking.
The Swiss Family Card is purchased by booking at least one child under 16 on the Swiss Travel Pass.
