Overview of the Swiss Travel System passes in 2020
A traveler started this thread to discuss the changes to the Swiss Travel System for 2020, specifically regarding the Swiss Travel Pass. They wanted to know how recent updates would affect transportation options like cable cars and the Glacier Express, and if they could buy passes online for better pricing. The thread provides useful insights into discounted tickets and provides links for more information.
- The Swiss Travel Pass now offers a 50% discount on the Mürren to Schilthorn cable car instead of the previous 100%.
- With the Swiss Travel Pass, the Stechelberg to Mürren cable car remains free.
- Reservations for the Glacier Express must be made separately from the Swiss Travel Pass, but tickets are unnecessary for travel in 2nd class.

Hi everyone,
I am traveling to Switzerland in the summer by a rental car for five days. My understanding is that Swiss Travel Pass will not help me much since I have a care ! True ?
Second, if I pay online will it save me money or is it the same price I could pay at the attraction desk cashier when I arrive. For example I if buy the Golden pass for Pilatus online. Do I pay more if I buy it when I arrive at the Kriens and board the Gondola to start my Trip ( I intend to do the trip opposite starting at Kriens )
Park my car Kriens, gondola, cable car, cogwheel, boat to Lucerne and then back by buy to car park
Thanks
Hello Muszub and Welcome to MySwissAlps,
It would make sense to open your own thread, as your questions does not really relate to the “changes” of the Swiss Travel Pass. Please do so for further questions. Thanks.
Nevertheless, the answer to your question is that you DON’T need a Swiss Travel Pass if you’re travelling by car, however I recommend you read:

Hello,
At the risk of sounding very dumb I am going to ask some very basic questions…please forgive me.
My family are spending 4 days 3 mights in Interlaken. We would like to do the following activities:
1. one scenic rail tour, if possible to Jangfraujoch,
2. Visit The Top of Europe
3. Do a cable car trip.
We will have a rental car so we don’t need rail passes for travelling. I can’t work out what I need to purchase for the above activities. Can somebody please help PLEASE? Thank you in advance~
