Hi Adriana,

The only way to be sure which pass is best is to add up the full fares for the trips you plan (using the Swiss Railway Timetable http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable) and then compare that to what you would pay with the various passes. See http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass

Have you had a look at the Swiss Transfer Ticket (http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstransferticket)? That would get you from Geneva Airport to Zermatt and from St Moritz to Geneva Airport for CHF146/person which is about the price of a ticket from St Moritz to Geneva Airport. It looks like your only other major trip is the Glacier Express so you may find it makes sense to just buy a point to point ticket for that.

Another option you could look at for the Glacier Express trip is the Saver Day Pass. But prices vary and you would need to buy somewhere between 10 and 30 days out from travel and hope you cracked the lowest price. See http://www.myswissalps.com/fo rum/topic/new-deal-on-saver-day-pass

Your plan of using a Swiss Travel Pass Flex will certainly be the most convenient. Whichever pass you choose there is an additional charge for mandatory reservations on the Glacier Express.

Hi Adriana,

Note that the Swiss Travel Pass Flex will get you no discounts at all if you don’t active that pass for that day. So a 4-day pass would include the trips you mentioned, but no cable cars etc. on the other days. A Swiss Half Fare Card may work out cheaper depending on your exact plans. Or even the 15-day Swiss Travel Pass if you plan to make longer day trips.

Hi Adriana,

There are no discounts for the Glacier Express reservations unfortunately, nor is there a discount for ski tickets.

You don’t need to “validate” your flex passes. You activate prior to travelling on the days you want to use it by filling in that date in the next available box on the Pass.
