Does the Swiss Travel Pass cover a day or 24 hrs?

Short summary – read this first

Toni is planning a trip to Switzerland, arriving in Basel on May 3. They want to know if the 4-day Swiss Travel Pass covers their departure from Lauterbrunnen to Domodossola on the morning of May 7, and if they can purchase the pass at Basel SBB station.

Key takeaways:
  • The Swiss Travel Pass is valid until 5 am on May 7 only, so it covers travel until that time.
  • You can buy the Swiss Travel Pass at Basel SBB station, but it's quicker to purchase it online for convenience and backup.

    We are planning to buy the 4day Swiss travel pass. We will arrive on May 3 to Basel SBB at 1026am. Hotel is located in Lauterbrunnen. Originally we plan to depart from Lauterbrunnen to Domodossola on May 7 in the morning. Will it be still covered by the Swiss travel pass or it is just valid until May 6? And can we buy the Swiss travel pass in Basel SBB station?

    Thank you so much!

    Hi Toni,

    No, it is valid by date. In your case May 3, 4, 5 and 6 only. Well it is technically valid until 5am on May 7…

    You can buy the Swiss Travel Pass at Basel train station. But it is much easier and faster to buy it online. That way you don’t have to go into an office to wait in line (and you have an electronic back up in case you lose it). 🙂
