Best company to buy Swiss Travel Pass from

Short summary – read this first

A traveler, Cathy Ricks, is looking for the best and cheapest way to buy a Swiss Travel Pass. She's considering options like Happy Rail and Klook but wants to know if Klook is trustworthy and if she can add the pass to the SBB mobile app after purchase.

Key takeaways:
  • You can buy the Swiss Travel Pass online from reliable resellers like Klook.
  • There is no need to link the Swiss Travel Pass to the SBB mobile app; it works without that.
  • If you purchase a Swiss Travel Pass Youth before turning 25, you can continue using it until your last travel day.

    What is the best and cheapest website/company to buy Swiss pass from? Once you buy pass from whichever company can you add it to the SBB mobile app? The ones I have looked at are Happy Rail and Klook. Klook was the cheapest but are they trustworthy? Thank you for your help.

    Hi Cathy ricks,

    You can purchase the Swiss Travel Pass online here: http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass/price. All the resellers listed here are reliable. I have personally purchased from Klook and it is legit.

    There is no need to link the Swiss Travel Pass to the SBB mobile app. You can find more information here: http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass/howtouse

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    @Anna, you are always a wealth of information. I am getting ready to purchase 8-day STPs for my group of 5 adults (and one toddler who I know is free and doesn’t need a pass). My situation is the following. One of our family members actually turns 25 at the end of our stay on 10/28. We are planning to use the STP to travel on our final day 10/29 (headed to Munich). What is the best way to handle that? Do I need to to upgrade her pass on that final travel day? Thanks for the input. Laura

    Hi Laura,

    If the Swiss Travel Pass Youth has a start date before she turns 25, you can continue using the same pass until the last day. I don’t think this would be an issue.
