    what will be the difference if I buy a 4 days Swiss Travel Pass from Web and print at home or from the Rail station in Switzerland. I mean If I buy it from station , will they give anything extra ? for example any protective holder or any informative leaflet or good quality paper ticket… Not sure which one better and beneficial . It might easily destroy and torn in swiss weather if I buy from web and print in a normal paper from home. I am landing in Geneva airport. Many Thanks in advance for suggestions ..

    You would get the Swiss Travel Pass in a cardboard holder from the station yes.

    However if you buy online you have a back up you can print again if you lose or damage it – not the case if you buy the ticket at the station. I think the pass will be fine printed from home – just keep it folded up in a zippered pocket in a bag or coat for example.

    Thanks Lucas. Bought and printed the ticket from online just now. They emailed me the ticket link within hour.
