Hi rxgn,
Welcome to MySwissAlps.
Yes, tourists are allowed to purchase the Children Co-Travelcard. The benefits are similar to the Junior Travelcard. You can find further details here: http://www.myswissalps.com/juniortravelcard
Just to let you know, if you purchase a Swiss Travel Pass or a Swiss Half Fare Card, you can request for a complimentary Swiss Family Card. This also allows you to take your children along for free even on mountain excursions.
Let us know if you need further info.

Hi Anna
thanks for replying. im aware if parent have swiss half fare card, children can travel on train for free.
however im not so sure on entry to mountain peaks like Pilatus and TITLIS. because in their website shows children are payable.
Engelberg–TITLIS
CHF 48 FOR AUDLT WITH HALFDAY FARE
CHF 48 FOR CHILDREN
Kriens – Pilatus
CHF 19.50 FOR AUDLT WITH HALFDAY FARE
CHF19.50 FOR CHILDREN
But if my children are only are Co-Travelcard , both sites are totally free.
for zermatt, mountains, Children who are 9 through 15 years old get a 50% discount with a Junior Card or a Grandchild Card. Children under 9 are free.
i also dont see them quoting discounts for children on family card.
thus i thought it would be better just to spend chf30 to buy a Co-Travelcard
Hi rxgn,
Yes, you can take your children along for free if you have a Swiss Half Fare Card + a Swiss Family Card. This applies on public transport and also on mountain excursions including to Titlis and Pilatus, where trips are discounted if you have a Swiss Half Fare Card. The prices displayed on the websites are usually standard prices without any railpass. Children aged 6-15 always pay half-price even without a railpass. With a Swiss Family Card/ Junor Travel Card/ Children Co-Travelcard, they pay nothing (no tickets needed) as long as they are accompanied by parents/adults with valid tickets or railpass.
Best regards,
Anna
