    How far in advance of one’s travel date are supersaver tickets available for purchase?

    Thank You.

    Sorry for this hasty post. I’ve found the information I was looking for on the SBB web site. “60 Days”

    Thanks Again!

    Hi Are2,

    SuperSaver tickets are available 60 days ahead of time and only for selected routes and they need to be bought at least 1 day in advance. Also good to know that they can run out. You can read about the SuperSaver ticket here: http://www.myswissalps.com/traintickets/switzerland.

    If you travel more on a day Saver Day Pass can be a better option: http://www.myswissalps.com/saverdaypass. You can buy it at http://www.myswissalps.com/saverdaypass/price. Make sure to check the validity of the Saver Day Pass under the label “Where it’s valid”.

    Thank You! I’ll research it further and wait for the 60 day window.

    We will arrive at the Zurich airport on 29/08/2020 and travel to Grindelwald. We will have both the RPBO and Half Fare Card and we’ll need to purchase tickets from Zurich to Luzern to account for the portion of the trip not covered on the RPBO. We would like to take advantage of the lower supersaver fares by purchasing well in advance.

    I see, then you do not need the Saver Day Pass.

    If you have a valid Swiss Half Fare Card your SuperSaver ticket will be even cheaper.
