    Hi esthie_steyn,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps.

    The Day Pass Children is for children aged between 6 and under 16 years old.  (If not, you will either need the adult Saver Day Pass or another rail ticket/pass).  The Day Pass Children (as is the Saver Day Pass) is valid for travel throughout Switzerland.  With the Day Pass Children, you can travel alone, together with other children or with adults for a whole day.

    More about the Saver Day Pass and its coverage/validity here:  https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/day-pass/

    You’ll only need an additional ticket if the route is not covered in the map. Scroll to “The map of the Day Pass for Switzerland” in the above link.

    Kind regards,

    Yolanda
