A regional pass can be a good choice if you focus on just one region of Switzerland.
A nation-wide pass is better if you explore several areas.
Some regional passes cover a large area (for example the Tell-Pass and the Berner Oberland Pass), other ones just a small region (for example the Jungfrau Travel Pass).
A few regional passes, such as the Ticino Ticket and Montreux Riviera Card, are free for hotel guests.
Many regional passes can be used during specific seasons only.
Popular regional passes for spring, summer, and fall
The Berner Oberland Pass, Jungfrau Travel Pass and Tell-Pass Summer are most used by tourists.
The Tell-Pass Winter is the winter variant of the Tell-Pass Summer. The Jungfrau Hiking and Sledging Pass can be a good winter alternative to the Jungfrau Travel Pass.
The Adventure Card allows free and discounted trips in eastern Valais and western Graubünden. The graubündenPASS can be helpful if you focus on the large canton of Graubünden, but it does not include many mountain routes. The Regional Pass Lake Geneva-Alps provides free and discounted traveling around Lake Geneva and the mountains east of it.
The Ticino Ticket is free for hotel, hostel, and campsite guests in the Ticino. It’s not provided to tourists spending the night in a holiday home or apartment. The Montreux Riviera Card is free for hotel, B&B, campsite, and holiday accommodation guests in the Montreux-Vevey area. Learn about it in our Lake Geneva travel guide.
