Swiss Half Fare Card & Swiss Travel Pass details
-
I am planning a car trip with my wife to Switzerland and I am looking for someone who will help clarify the details of the use of Swiss Travel Pass and Swiss Swiss Half Fare Cards. Although I plan to travel by car, there is a discount on mountain trains for most of the interesting attractions.
When it comes to SHFC, in theory, buying the https://www.swiss-pass.ch/swiss-half-fare-card/ card for 120 CHF I have a 50% discount on most attractions –http://www.myswissalps.com/swisshalffarecard/validity including those that interest me Jungfraujoch, Gornergrat, Grindelwald-First, Titlis, Eggishorn.
However, after reading the entry of a rockoyster expert on the forum http://www.myswissalps.com/forum/topic/swiss-travel-pass-vs-half-fare-pass I completely lost my mind. I totally don’t understand now how SHFC works and why we eventually pay 240CHF?
I also don’t know if when I buy Good Morning Ticket to Jungfraujoch I could combine these promotions and reduce the morning ticket by half?
The last uncertainty is the entry on this page http://www.myswitzerland.com/pl/planowanie/transport-accommodation/bilety/swiss-half-fare-card/- “3 days a month” – appears only in Polish translation so maybe it’s a mistake. I hope that this card is not valid only 3 days in month period 🙂
When it comes to STP, everything looks clear (along with the fact that, unfortunately, the most expensive attraction Jungfraujoch gives a 25% discount instead of 50%). There is a promotion http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass/promotions – thanks to which if I understand right we have free reservations at Jungfraujoch and Swiss Coupon Pass. Here I am not sure how it is technically done – whether I have to buy a ticket for Jungfraujoch online in advance and if not how I will receive the Swiss Coupon Pass.
