This traveler is looking for advice on whether the Swiss Travel Pass or the Swiss Half Fare TravelCard would be better for weekend trips.
- Yes, as a resident, you can obtain the Swiss Travel Pass by showing your foreign passport.
- If you plan on traveling frequently for a few days or weeks, the Swiss Travel Pass may offer more benefits than the Swiss Half Fare TravelCard, which gives 50% off trips but is more suited for occasional getaways.

Hi lrhmali and welcome to MySwissAlps!
Yes, you can get the Swiss travel Pass by showing your foreign passport.
I’m also on a permit to live here and have the Swiss Half Fare TravelCard (1-year for residents, the a 1-month version for tourists) that gives you 50% off all trips. This may be more useful to you if you plan on doing small getaways on weekends throughout the year.But if you are planning on spending a few days or a week or two to travel frequently around Switzerland, the Swiss Travel Pass may be more beneficial for you.
