Pretty sure it is for Swiss residents only http://www.sbb.ch/en/travelca rds-and-tickets/tickets-for-switzerland/1-day-travelpass/day-pass-for-2.html says you have to have a half-fare travel card which is not a Swiss Half-Fare Card for tourists. Nice try.

Hi ANKITA. I bought one of these day passes yesterday from Brienz station, to use with our Half Fare Card for international guests. So it should be okay. Thanks for your early post!

Dear Minnie, so hope we too can buy it during our visit to the switzerland this weekend and use it. Checking online, it doesnt seem to be possible as rockoyster rightly posted (as half fare card for international travellers seem different from HF travel card). CAn someone throw more light onto facts here, as we have someone who have already bought one with HFC tourists

Hi Ankita,
Sorry, I don’t know more about the offer than what I just read in Rockoyster’s link. It says you need a “Half-Fare travelcard”, which is the one year version for Swiss residents, not the one month version for tourists. However, Minnie managed to purchase, so it should be possible for you to. Just give it a try I’d say.

Minnie might have purchased but can her International visitors legitimately take advantage of this domestic deal. I submit not you honour.

I will return to the station and confirm if I, who bought this ticket at the same time as my Half Fare card, can actually use the ticket. I will post a reply afterwards. Thanks for the caution, Rockoyster.

Rockoyster, you are completely correct. Interlaken SBB has just refunded my ticket and told me it should not have been sold to a tourist. So once again the My Swiss Alps forum has been extremely helpful. Many thanks, MinnieR
