Only Swiss Travel Pass or Swiss Travel Pass + Saver Day Passes?

Short summary – read this first

A traveler plans a 6-day trip to Switzerland in July with two adults and three children. They are considering using Saver Day Passes on the first and last days and a Swiss Travel Pass for the middle four days, but they're unsure whether to extend the Swiss Travel Pass to 6 days. They want cost-effective advice since there's no mountain visit on their travel days.

Key takeaways:
  • Opt for the 6-day Swiss Travel Pass instead of two Saver Day Passes to save money and benefit from mountain discounts and museum entries.
  • Remember that Saver Day Passes do not cover free travel for children, while the Swiss Travel Pass includes this perk.
  • Check current prices for both passes to make a well-informed decision on what suits your travel plan best.

    Hello, we are traveling to Switzerland in July, 6 days in total. I am thinking of taking saver days on the 1st and 6th days and getting STP for the middle 4 days. day 1 basel bern spiez blausse 2.3.4.5. stp days On the 6th day, we return from Lucerne to Milan, our aim is to reach Milan Central. Since there was no mountain visit on days 1 and 6, I made this plan. Our number of people is 2 adults and children aged 9-10-15. Now my question is, should I increase the STP to 6 days? Or does it make sense to take 4-day stp and saver days on 2 separate days? Thank you very much.

    Hi Cakdut,

    Two Saver Day Passes will be more expensive than the price difference between a 4- and 6-day Swiss Travel Pass. Plus, the Swiss Travel Pass gets you mountain discounts and museum entry (if your plans change), while Saver Day Passes only include public transport. Also, Saver Day Passes will not get you free travel for the children.
