    Will be returning after doing france and germany on Euro rail pass..
    my query is Do i have to activate my Swiss pass from Zurich Airport to Train Staion..as I will travel on Eurorail pass to Paris.
    Further, When I return back to Switzerland from Germany..to St Moritz..I have to chage the trains at Basel and Chur..
    Do i have to travel Swiss pass or on same Eurorail through pass which I will be starting from Germany…
    Please let me as I have to purchase the Swiss pass and I want to count the number of day I will be using..[/quote]

    Hello akjay123. If I understand it correctly, the only trip in Switzerland you’ll be making on May 15 is the leg Zurich Airport-Swiss border (probably Basel) on your way to Paris. And I assume you have a Eurail Pass that’s valid in Germany and France only, right? In that case it’s not cost effective to start using your Swiss Pass on May 15 already. You can best buy regular tickets for the leg Zurich Airport-Swiss border and let your Eurail Pass take over once you reach the border. Your Swiss Pass should start when you enter Switzerland from Germany. It will be valid from the first border station (again, most probably Basel – you can check this reviewing the downloadable validity map at the Swiss Pass page and using the timetable to search connections for your trips).

    I hope this helps you out. Purchase options for the Swiss Pass are listed in the upper right corner of the Swiss Pass page. Just fill out your country of residence and further details to select the best reseller.

    Thanks for a quick reply Annika,

    Yes ,you got it correct but now I had a situation again that I didn’t knew about this Swiss border thing..Can I not use my Euro Rail Pass since the train is Direct from Zurich HB to Paris…And I have already taken 1 free on 1 swiss pass which I intent to use when I start back from Germany from Basel onwards… Also let me know ,since I will be having a connecting train from Basel to Chur and have to change at Basel..How to Validate the pass at Basel .

    Is this promotion pass has to be used in uninterrupted 4 days in a stretch or I use it any 4 days out of my stay??

    I am levying tomorrow..

    Hello Akjay. If you already have a pass, it shows the dates on which it’s valid. If you have a regular Swiss Pass, it’s valid on 4 consecutive days. If you purchased a Swiss Flexi Pass, the free travel days don’t have to be consecutive.

    So you do have a Eurail Pass for Germany and France only? In that case it’s not valid in Switzerland and you will have to buy a regular ticket covering the leg Zurich-Basel.

    Validating your pass has to be done according to the instructions you received along with your pass. A date may already be printed on it and you may only have to fill out your name and passport numbers. Other resellers require you to have the pass stamped by a railway official. You can do so at the railway station of Basel.

    Connections and all their details, such as changes of trains (just click the ‘plus’ symbol) can be found through the timetable I mentioned. Have a nice stay!

    Hello Praveen. Yes, the passes are physical documents that will be sent by post. Depending on your country of residence, you may be able to choose a quick delivery option that will allow you to receive your passes in time. Please note that the 2 for 1 offer is not for sale in Switzerland, so it’s worth trying to find an overnight delivery option. Just fill out your country of residence and other data in the upper right corner of the Swiss Pass or Swiss Flexi Pass page.

    Hi Praveen. We mention expected delivery dates in our reseller overview. Just click ‘Show more information’ at the reseller of your choice to see this information. In your case DHL Express might still be too late, as that takes about 3 working days. However, an alternative is to have your passes shipped to your hotel or holiday apartment in Switzerland. STC allows you to fill out a separate delivery and billing address, so that could be a perfect solution. It will save you from having to buy non-discounted passes in Switzerland.

    HELLO!

    On the Swiss Flexi Pass page it states “free travelling for 3, 4, 5 or 6 days within a period of up to one month. These days do not need to be consecutive. The validity of the Swiss Flexi Pass starts at the first day of free travelling and ends after the last day of free travelling.” BUT I only see listings for 4 day passes.

    We will be in Switzerland for 8 days beginning on September 9th. There will probably be at least 2 days when we are not traveling by train or bus. We will always be traveling together. Can we purchase a 2 for 1 Swiss Saver Flexi Pass good for 6 days of traveling , non-consecutive?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Daniel,

    On the right of the Swiss Flexi Pass page, you can select any of the 3, 4, 5 or 6 day passes and your country to get a list of resellers and prices. The 2-for-1 offer is just for 4-day passes. Please see my initial post for details on that offer.

    If you have 2 days without traveling and perhaps 2 days with shorter trips (you’ll get discounted tickets), the 4 free travel days may still suit your needs.

    Hello openatprabu. I can’t answer that question now, as that depends on so many factors. I think you can best do some research first, by carefully reading the details on Swiss rail passes and the general guidelines for choosing the right one in our FAQ. Once you have more specific information, you’re of course welcome to get back with your questions. As for the 2 for 1 offer: the first post of this topic describes when and how it can be used.

    Hi tommy19990,

    The Swiss leg of the trip would be free on a free travel day of the Swiss Saver Flexi Pass or 50% discounted on another day.

    Dear Madam/Sir,
    I would like to buy the 2 for 1 promotion sale pass.. However, when I opened the website, I’m not really understand what does it mean… get a free pass with travelling dates between 01/09 to 30/11/2012?

    Does that mean that if I bought the pass 2 for 1, then I just can use 1 pass first and other one I can only use it at 01/09-30/11?

    Please kindly explain 🙂

    And also, is it possible to ship it to Netherlands?

    Thank you

    Dear Forum: I have settled on the 4-day Swiss Flexi Pass for my upcoming trip in September. Can someone tell me how I specify which days are “travel days”, and how that is registered on the pass? For example, I’ll be using the pass from Sept 7 to Sept 13. My 4 travel days are Sept 7, 9, 10 and 13 (but one or two may change). How do I designate specific dates for “travel days”? Thanks in advance, Gary

    Hello Gary! Swiss Flexi Passes have lines or boxes printed on them; one for each free travel day. All you have to do is write down the dates of your free travel days or stamp them at a railway station. You can even do so before boarding your first train/bus/boat that day, so you can decide very shortly in advance. Does that help you out?

    Dear Annika: Yes, it answers the question perfectly. As a follow up, in reading some of the other posts, is it the case that my first travel day HAS to be the first day of my travel period, i.e. my travel period is Sept 7 to Sept 13, so is Sept 7 automatically my first travel day? Thanks, Gary

    Hello sethchem,

    You´ll get one pass that allows two people to travel together. You´ll pay for one person only. Yes, the pass can be shipped to the Netherlands if you order through this link.
