-
I used to use the airport to resort pass to cover multiple trips from Geneva Airport to Zermatt during the ski season. This has now been discontinued. Is there a half price discount card which is valid for longer than 1 month? Can you suggest the cheapest way for 4 to 5 return journeys ? Your hep will be appreciated.

Hello Arran house and Welcome to MySwissAlps,
Unfortunately I don’t know about any Swiss rail pass for non-residents, which is valid longer than the month validity of the Swiss Half Fare Card. Maybe this could be of use for you, but I’m not sure how many journeys you do per stay and how often you come, so it’s a little hard to day. See details on the mentioned pass below:
– http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isshalffarecardI will try to find out if there has been a replacement of the airports to resort pass you mention (not one I know to be honest) and maybe you can also ask the retailer who sold that pass before to see if there’s a replacement.
Best,
Steph
Hi Arran_house!
Yes, there is an annual Half-Fare travelcard. It’s not really a tourist product so it’s a bit harder to obtain for non-residents. You’ll find more information under “Alternatives if you stay longer than 15 days” at http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/details. You’ll have to calculate whether this option is worth the expense for 4-5 return journeys (http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass). You may be better off obtaining Supersaver tickets (http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/switzerland) or maybe Saver Day Passes (http://www.myswissalps.com/sa verdaypass), which would be cheaper than regular tickets Geneva Airport-Zermatt if you buy them well in advance and secure them for the lowest price: https://www.happyrail. com/en/pass/europe/swi tzerland/swiss-saver-day.
