    Welcome to MySwissAlps Crisd!

    An online purchase takes some manual processing too, so that’s why many websites do not offer a last minute purchase. However, if you order through http://www.happyrail.com/en/p ass/europe/switzerland /swiss-travel-pass-consecutive you will receive it through e-mail tomorrow (Monday) and you can print it in your hotel. Be sure to fill out your correct e-mail address while ordering.

    All purchase options are listed here: myswissalps.com/ swisstravelpass/ price.

    Enjoy your trip!

    Thank you so much Arno !!

    Was wondering then since I arrive 26Th morning into Zurich, can I purchase the Swiss Travel pass at the Airport?? is there a massive price difference getting it in Switzerland as against outside of Switzerland !!

    We are 3 of us .. Me with my daughter ages 17 and 13 . So will be getting 1 Adult and 1 Youth pass ! Am I right in my understanding that my younger daughter 13 yrs travel free with me ?

    Thanks for your help!

    You’re welcome Crisd! Sure, you can buy them at the airport train station (see the second page I linked to). It’s currently CHF 4 more expensive than the other option I gave you (per pass). You may have to wait in line (could be just minutes, could be 30 minutes). Indeed you can get a Swiss Family Card for your youngest daughter so she will travel for free.
