Hello!

Based on all the excellent info on this website, my wife and I decided a half fare card was the most economical choice for our trip from Geneva-Zermatt-Montreaux-Geneva primarily because we are traveling with two 11 year old children and they would then travel free.

My question is, do I need to buy/reserve any tickets for the kids since they travel free with the Half fare card, or do they just hop on the train with us and nothing else is needed until I show the conductor my pass?

Do the kids still travel free if I choose a “Supersaver Ticket” for the Geneva ->Zermatt trip instead of the half fare ticket?

What happens if our flight is delayed or we’re late on arrival and miss the assigned time for the supersaver ticket from Geneva-Zermatt? We have to then buy another ticket? Would that be reason enough reason to pay up from CHF 30.80 to CHF 49.00 for a Saver Day Pass?

Thank you so much for your help!

Matthew

Hello Mattg12,

Nice to hear you’re coming along to Switzerland with your family.

If you hold the Swiss Half Fare Card you can simply get the free Swiss Family Card and then your daughter will travel for FREE with you on ANY route!

Regarding the arrival day, I normally recommend NOT to get a supersaver ticket that day, as you say, delays can occur in air travel, so you never know! If you haven’t already purchased it, I would opt for a Saver Day Pass or a simple point-to-point ticket for the day you’re arriving.
