New rail pass – Saver Day Pass
-
Previously it was necessary to have a half-fare card in order to buy a Saver Day Pass. This is no longer necessary. If you are able to buy a Day Saver Pass around 10 days before travel you can get a DSP for CHF52 (or CHF29 if you have a Half-fare Card). If you try to buy one a day ahead you pay CHF106 instead of CHF52. So it needs a bit of pre-planning to be properly cost-effective.
Make sure you read the Terms and Conditions at http://www.sbb.ch/en/travelca rds-and-tickets/tickets-for-switzerland/1-day-travelpass/saver-day-pass.html
In particular if you don’t have a Half-fare Card then there is no discount on the mountain cog-wheel trains and cable cars that are shown as dotted lines on the validity map.
Note 1: Half-fare Card above refers to either the domestic version or the tourist oriented Swiss Half-fare Card.
Note 2: Not sure if this is a short term offer for the “off-season”.
