Do I need to specify the days when I buy the Swiss Travel Pass Flex?

Short summary – read this first

Marlowe is planning a trip to Switzerland from September 4 to 17 and is considering purchasing the Swiss Travel Pass Flex for 8 days of travel. Their main concern is whether they need to specify which days they'll use the pass at the time of purchase, as changing plans could affect their travel days.

Key takeaways:
  • You do not need to specify the exact days when purchasing the Swiss Travel Pass Flex; you can choose your travel days as needed.
  • After activating the first day of your usage, the 8 days remain valid for one month before they expire.
  • For more details, check the guide on how the Swiss Travel Pass Flex works, which provides helpful information and purchase options.

    We will be in Switzerland Sept 4-17 and I am considering the Swiss Travel Pass Flex for 8 days, non consecutive.

    Do I need to specify which exact 8 days I will use the pass at the time of purchase ? This would mean if my plans change by a day

    or two, I would lose some of the 8 days of travel.

    Hi Marlowe,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps.

    With the Swiss Travel Pass Flex, no, you do not need to nominate your days at the time of purchase.  You can select your days as and when you need to. After activating the first day of usage, you would have a month to use your days before they become void.

    More on the Swiss Travel Pass Flex in our guide below, you will also find some trusted online purchase options too.  I think the section ” How does the Swiss Travel Pass Flex work?” will be helpful for you:

    Kind regards,

    Yolanda
