2 for 1 offer Swiss Saver (Flexi) Pass

Hello Kumar

For the Swiss Rail Passes persons of 16 years and older are considered to be adults. The offer you mention is for persons traveling together and their relationship is of no importance.

As you will be traveling in April you can use the 2 for 1 offer of the Swiss pass. Follow this link for all the relevant features of the Swiss Pass. Ordering can be done on the right (Where to buy your Swiss Pass). You'll find a PDF-overview of the network on which the Swiss Pass is valid.

The Swiss Timetable may be helpful planning your trips.

Enjoy your stay!

Hi gidesai,

The last dates are listed in my initial post. The pass needs to be shipped to your home address. If you go to the Swiss Pass page you can find the best reseller (incl. shipping times) by filling out your country, travelers and desired pass.

gidesai said: Hi,
I want to know what is the last date of the swiss promo offer 2 for 1. I am travelling to swiss on 27th april 2012 and will be there till 29th april 2012. so how early i will have to book this pass? Does this pass includes reservation for the trains ? Does this pass has paper ticket option or has to be shipped at my address or can i collect it once i reached swiss?

Kindly reply

thanks

Hello svetafom! If you order through trainticket.com, you should indeed validate it in Switzerland upon arrival. You can get to any manned railway station and ask the personell to stamp your pass.

Seat reservations are required for the Glacier Express. They can be made up to 3 to 2 months in advance. The seat reservation page provides further information.

svetafom12 said: Hi Arno,
Thank you for the sites you gave-the info is definately helpful.
If I get Swiss Saver Pass 1for 2 shall I somehow validate it in Switzerland on the arrival?
Is it possible to get seats in Glacier express without reservation beforehand? What is a minimum period for seat reservation?

Hello anoopdaga! You can order your tickets this way:
- 1 2 for 1 offer for the two adults of the 1st family plus a free STS Family Card for the children. Depending on the reseller, the STS Family Card can be ordered along or obtained for free at a Swiss railway station upon showing your Swiss Saver Flexi Pass;
- 1 2 for 1 offer for another two adults of the 2nd family plus a free STS Family Card for the children;
- 1 2 for 1 offer for the two adults of the 3rd family plus a free STS Family Card for the 2 children;
- 1 2 for 1 offer for the two youths in de 3rd family. They'll be considered adults if they're 16 or older. Buying them this offer too is cheaper than buying two Swiss Youth Passes.

You should fill out your country of residence in the upper right corner of the Swiss Flexi Pass page, select the appropriate reseller and click the button to get to their website. You'll be able to fill out the right amount of adult travelers there (8 in total including the 2 youths, so you'll get 4 2 for 1 offers).

As for your itinerary: the timetable allows you to find details on all connections, including the time required to change trains at Chur or at any other railway station. Of course you can also choose to take a later train from Chur to have more time. The quickest and most direct routes from Zurich to Venice are either via Brig and Domodossola, or via Arth-Goldau and Lugano. The latter is a bit more scenic (the connection via Brig includes a rather long tunnel ride). The Bernina Express option is a detour (enter Chur and Pontresina as via-stations to achieve this information in the timetable), but absolutely beautiful.

The coverage of the Swiss Flexi Pass can be reviewed by clicking the link to the downloadable map at the Swiss Flexi Pass page. Depending on your connection, the pass will be valid up to Domodossola, Chiasso or Tirano. The trip to the Rhine Falls is covered too.

Lockers are available at most railway stations.

Hello Wandermann,

Hello Shashank (aka kumar15),

Don't worry about your ages. (Sometimes the age of 16-26 may be of importance for other reasons, but certainly not in your case!)

To benefit from the 2 for 1 offer of the Swiss Pass, just select two adults and everything will work out fine.

I hope this helps. Good luck ordering your 2 for 1 offer.

Hello Wandermann,

Thanks for your valuable suggestion.

Thanks

Hi liaangelia,

Yes, I would say that the 2-for-1 Swiss Saver Pass would suit your plans. To see what's covered, please download the map from the Swiss Pass page. I would not pick a Eurail pass in your case. It's more expensive and it does not include that many discounts on mountain transportation. The promoted Swiss Pass and a single ticket to Paris would be the better option. Since you live in the US, both can best be purchased through raileurope.com. Our hotel pages list some convenient hotels for rail travelers.

Enjoy your trip to the Alps!

Hello Sean,

Will you be traveling alone or with one or more persons? If you are traveling alone there's no point in ordering the 2 for 1 offer of the Swiss Pass, otherwise it is indeed an excellent deal.

Yes, the Swiss Pass can be used without additional charges to reach the destinations you mention. If you follow the link you can check where you will be traveling for free, downloading the PDF overview of the network on which the Swiss Pass is valid. Using the normal railway system there's no need to make reservations.

If you want to visit Jungfraujoch it's free to Wengen or Grindelwald with your Swiss Pass. From there to Kleine Scheidegg and Jungfraujoch this Pass will give you a 25 % discount.

The timetable can be of help planning your trips.

Enjoy your stay!
