    Hello arunshejwal, welcome to MySwissAlps!

    Yes, you can receive the Swiss Half Fare Card and Swiss Family Card through e-mail, print it, and use it immediately on arrival. You do not need to validate it in Tirano. The easiest option is to visit http://www.swissrailways.com/ en. After filling out your address, they will show the delivery options. Pick “Online Ticket” from the bottom of the list. They will e-mail the cards within 1 to 3 business days (no delivery fees).

    Have a good trip!
