Uploading Swiss Travel Pass on SBB app

Short summary – read this first

A traveler is facing difficulties uploading their Swiss Travel Pass to the SBB app, which asks for a 10-digit customer ID that they don't have. They're eager to take advantage of half-price tickets for cable cars and gondolas during their trip.

Key takeaways:
  • The Swiss Travel Pass does not require linking to the SBB app; just carry it on your phone or as a PDF.
  • For half-price tickets on cable cars, show your Swiss Travel Pass to the ticket attendant, along with a photo or PDF version.
  • Use the SBB app to check train timetables, but not for linking the Swiss Travel Pass.

    That customer ID is for Swiss citizens who have the Swiss Pass, not the Swiss Travel Pass. Yeah, not confusing at all LOL! Just carry the Swiss Travel Pass with you on phone or paper and when you buy cable car tix where you get 50% off with STP, just check half-fare. You then show both to ticket attendant. If the clouds clear in Lauterbrunnen in am, hoping to do just that for Schilthorn.

    Hi Kpenwell875,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps.

    There’s no need to link your Swiss Travel Pass to the SBB app. You can just upload it your to mobile wallet or show the PDF copy/QR code upon inspection. You can still use the app to check timetables and buy half-fare tickets for mountain transportation where applicable. You can find more information on how to use the STP here: http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass/howtouse

    Regards,
