I have an adult saver day pass, purchased with the half fare card. Does this saver day pass work in conjunction with the Swiss Family Card which allows children accompanying their parents to travel for free? We are planning a trip on the Glacier Express and currently I have paid the seat reservation for my whole family, adults and children. I need to know if I must buy any additional tickets for the children? Many thanks in advance for any assistance available 😃

Hi SwissAlps Dream,

I’m glad to hear you have secured your seats on the Glacier Express for the entire family.

When you purchase a Swiss Half Fare Card, you can request for a complimentary Swiss Family Card. This will allow your children (6-15 years old) to travel along for free as long as you have a valid ticket or Saver Day Pass. This also applies on scenic trains such as the Glacier Express. There is no need to purchase additional tickets for the accompanying children.
